New Delhi: Former England cricketer Nick Compton has slammed Indian captain Virat Kohli for his aggressive on-field behavior during India vs England Test series. During the Lord's Test between India and England, tempers flared as players from both the teams were seen involved in heated verbal banters. Whatever the England players are trying to pull off, it's just simply firing back.
Some heated words were exchanged between England players and Bumrah during the match. The crowd was a bit surprised to see Bumrah's animated talks with English wicket-keeper batsman Mark Wood. Later, the Indian speedster was also heard telling the umpire, "I didn't say not to bowl fast to me."
Ex-England cricketer Nick Compton has come out hard on Virat Kohli for his aggressive on-field behavior and went on to call the Indian skipper as a 'foul-mouthed individual' while terming the likes of Joe Root, Sachin Tendulkar and Kane Williamson among others as cool and calm personalities.
“Isn’t Kohli the most foul mouthed individual. I’ll Never forget the barrage of abuse I received in 2012 when the swearing 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,” Compton wrote in his tweet.
There was some tussle between Kohli and England fast bowler James Anderson on the fifth day of the second test match between India and England. However, the Indian captain later shook hands with Anderson as well when the game got over. Compton has scored 775 runs in 16 Test matches for England from 2012 to 2016. The third Test between India and England will be played at Headingley from August 25.
