I think I bumped into Virat’s ex- Nick Compton

In a recent podcast, the discarded England opener who was part of that historic series win by England in 2012 shared an interesting story. He revealed that Virat Kohli tried to sledge the right hand batsman throughout the series and here’s the reason.

I definitely got a few words from Virat Kohli during the series. I think I bumped into his ex-girlfriend at the time before the series when out for an evening with Kevin Pietersen and myself, Yuvraj Singh… all of us were there, and she was there

She said Virat was her ex boyfriend!

The story got really interesting when Nick Compton got a reply from Virat’s ex girlfriend which didn’t go well with the current Indian captain in Virat Kohli. Hence, Virat Kohli was trying to prove a point to Nick Compton and attempted to sledge the opener every time every time Nick Compton walked out to bat.

I just chatted to her and the word got back that I was speaking to her, and I don’t think Virat Kohli was very happy with that. He had a few words to say to me every time I walked out to bat. He was trying to say that it was his girlfriend, and she was saying that it was her ex-boyfriend. It was like, ‘Who’s got the story right here,’ you know what I mean?’
