Nick Compton questions Rohit Sharma's skills, netizens hit back

Nick Compton, a former English Test batsman seems to have made it a habit of looking at the negative side of things. Compton could not at the international level having represented England in 16 Tests between 2012 to 2016. The ex-cricketer had earlier criticised Kohli after the Indian captain made a heartwarming gesture for Steve Smith in World Cup 2019. Compton had also made fun of Shahid Afridi's batting techniques. Compton had faced the backlash of the fans on both occasions and even this time was no different either as Nick Compton tried to take on Rohit Sharma who has had an outstanding year with the bat so far.
