Kudos to Chopra for doing the right thing.

Former England batsman Nick Compton copped a fair bit of criticism on Saturday after he took a subtle dig at Indian captain Virat Kohli. Compton, though, was quick to receive support from former India opener turned commentator Aakash Chopra.

It all started when Chopra tweeted in praise of Kohli's hundred during the third ODI against West Indies on Saturday. This was Kohli's third consecutive ODI ton, a feat never achieved by an Indian before.

"Heard that Oxford Dictionary is considering replacing ‘Consistency’ with ‘Kohli’. Makes a lot of sense," he wrote.

Well, all we'll say is kudos to Chopra for doing the right thing.
