Could you provide the numbers of Compton in India? He has really good numbers in FC matches in SC.
I've done some research into Compton's games in India.

He made a 120 on a turner, while he made 120 runs, rest of the Batsmen managed only a 116/8.

He smacked another hundred, making 109 in the very next match in India.

then he goes and smashed a 123 on a turning pitch against the Nayudu Brothers, Mankad and Amarnath. Mankad got a fifer, 3 for Amarnath, everyone else combined on that wicket managed to make a 169/9.

on another turner, he made a 100, coming in at 5-2, no one else managed to cross 38 in that inning and he made 100 runs while everyone else combined managed to make a 139/9.

Of course, the very famous ranji final where Compton made 249* on an old breaking India wicket, everyone else managed to make around 236/10 on that wicket, this is one of the great innings in India and @peterhrt once stated it's rated as one of the best hundreds ever in India.

He made another hundred against Australian services, he made 101, everyone else in his team managed to make 164/9.

He made another 91 and 124 on a turning wicket against Mankad, Mankad got a ten wicket hall in that game, when Compton made his 91, no one else crossed 30 and everyone else managed to combined make...116/9 runs and in second inning where Mankad got 7, Compton managed his 124, everyone else combined managed 163/9.

all in all, not bad for a guy having his first outing in India.

They are not known for their ability to travel long distances but after some thorough research, I narrowed down the following

Common Bent-wing Bat
Black-bearded Tomb Bat
Noctule Bat
Egyptian Free-tailed Bat

Their migration depends on the season
