Don't mind Kohli blowing flying kiss if he scores a ton: Kapil Dev

New Delhi: 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 a problem if a player scores zero and is blowing a flying kiss. We played cricket in a different era and now it’s a different era. We have to accept that," Kapil said at a 'Cricket Conclave' organised 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," Kapil added.

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 the start of the match. What were you guys doing in the dressing room, only eating eggs!" Kapil said.

On India's chances in the World Cup, Kapil said it was 25 per cent and also explained his reason for it. "India I believe will reach the semifinals and all four semifinalists will have a 25 per cent chance. You can't predict from there on. I believe the start is very important. I think the first 15 overs will decide how India will perform. I would take 40/0 in the first 15 overs which can give us 270 plus total. It's a must. But if India lose 2-3 wickets in 15 overs it will be difficult," Kapil said.
