Kapil Dev speaks on Virat Kohli’s Paternity leave

Former Indian skipper Kapil Dev has backed Virat Kohli after the current Indian team captain took paternity leave from the tour of Australia to be with wife Anushka Sharma, who is due to give birth to their first child in the month of January.

According to the details, Kapil Dev in his recent statement said “Don’t think we could afford to go and come back. That’s for sure. Sunil Gavaskar didn’t see his son for many months. It was a different thing. Look, things change. If I talk about Kohli, when his father died, he came back playing cricket the next day. Today he is taking a leave for his baby. It’s fine, you can afford it.”

India will play three ODIs, as many T20Is, and then play four Tests.
