London/IBNS: Twitterati slammed former English cricketer Nick Compton who called Indian skipper Virat Kohli "foul mouthed" while praising his country's Test captain Joe Root.

In a tweet, Compton had said, "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."

However, he later deleted the tweet.

Reminding Compton about several past incidents involving English players, one user said, "Where were you when - Anderson Insulted Ashwin Buttler insulted Philander in his farewell match. It was England who started with mouth against Bumrah when he came to bat..."

One Umakant said, "What's Buttler saying to Philander Here."

In the second Test, where India pulled off a stunning last-hour victory against England at Lord's here, several Indian players including skipper Kohli and English players were engaged in heated arguments on field.
