After terming Virat Kohli 'the most foul-mouthed individual' last week, former England opener Nick Compton has once again hit out at the Indian skipper for his excessive verbal volleys.

Compton's comment came after the second Test between India and England at Lord's. Kohli was involved in a heated exchange with James Anderson and tried to distract Jos Buttler, Ollie Robinson with his words during the Lord’s Test.

According to Compton, Kohli’s idea of getting under the opposition's skin is completely different than his contemporaries.

"I don't think it is anything personal. I think if you see the likes of Williamson, Root, they just go about their cricket a different way. I am not saying that whether it is right or wrong," Compton told SportsKeeda.

"I think the way Kohli goes about it, there is definitely a place for it in the game. I am just talking about his verbals out there. He is quite foul-mouthed. It is not for everyone. I am a fan of quietly going about it, being strong in different ways," he added.

Compton feels instead of indulging in a verbal duel, the Indian captain should let his bat do the talking.

Notably, Kohli hasn’t hit a century in international cricket since November 2019 and the former England batsman wants him to channelise his aggression and put on a solid performance with the bat in the remaining three Tests.

"Indian players must give it back (to England). I am not saying they shouldn't be aggressive. I think (Ravindra) Jadeja has got that in him. I think that you do get a good mixture within the team. There are different ways to being aggressive. Kohli can probably do it in a more intelligent way, without having these abusive fights. Sometimes the best way is to say nothing and go out there and get a hundred," Compton added.

The third Test will be played at Headingley from August 25.
