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!"
