In the article it is clearly mentioned that Ben Stokes (Benjamin Andrew Stokes) was born on 4 June 1991 in Christ Church, New Zealand, stokes moves to England as a child at the age of 12.

Afterward,  the team searched about the history of  Ben stokes family in which we get to know that Ben Stokes is the son of former rugby league player and coach Gerard Stokes known as ‘ Ged Stokes’, and an English Mother Deborah Stokes. He was raised in a devout Christain family. 

Meanwhile, we searched about the grandfather of Ben Stokes and his connection with the Yaduvanshi family of Uttar Pradesh but we found nothing related to this.

Conclusion:

It is clear from the fact-check of DFRAC that Ben stokes was born in Christ Church, New Zealand, and moved to England at the age of 12 no family member of his was a worker of the Samajwadi Party and his ancestor belongs to New Zealand, not Uttar Pradesh. Therefore, the claim made by social media users is Fake.
