Former England batsman Nick Compton has said the Indian captain Virat Kohli as the “most foul-mouthed individual”.
“Isn’t Kohli the most foul mouthed individual. I’ll Never forget the barrage of abuse I received in 2012 when the swearing [emoticon: swearing face] stunned me to the point that he did himself a serious disservice. It highlights what a level headed and grounded man Root, Tendulkar, Williamson et al are,” tweeted Compton.
Compton’s grandfather Denis Compton played 78 Test matches for England between 1937 and 1957. Kohli was involved in an altercation with England pace bowler James Anderson during the second Test which India won on the fifth and final day.
However, Kohli shook hands with the 39-year-old England pacer who is the third highest wicket-taker in Test cricket.
