If Virat scores ton and then blows kiss to girlfriend, I have no problem: Kapil Dev
February 02, 2015

Former India captain Kapil Dev feels that he is fine with Virat Kohli's antics as long as he is performing on field.

"If Virat Kohli scores a century and then blows a flying kiss towards his girlfriend, I have no problems. Rather I have problem if a player scores zero and is blowing a flying kiss. We played cricket in a different era and now its a different era. We have to accept that,' Kapil said at a 'Cricket Conclave' organized by News24.

"We can't just sit back and think that cricket is no longer a gentleman's game. Times have changed. The generation I played was different. We grew up with Test cricket. But now you have sledging, abuses and T20 is an accepted format," he said.

Kapil also took a sarcastic dig at India's team huddle which he described as "hug'.

"Well I have never understood this team hug inside the ground at start of the match. What were you guys doing in dressing room. Only eating eggs!"
