We should also see the positive side of the celebrations, as it must have been an act of frustration, as to the performance he has showcased, which has been below par, during the series. There were lots of emotions during his celebrations, which showed what the century meant for him. His ton and his celebrations were the answer to many critics, who wanted him to be axed from the starting 11.  May be this century will bring the much needed confidence for the upcoming ODI series.

Gavaskar also should understand that Kohli is not the player of the 90s where they would not use their vocal cords, when they were provoked. Players such as Laxman, Dravid, and Sachin very rarely hit back at anyone through their words. But gone is that age when we would find Indians being quiet on the field. Players of the current generation such as Kohli, Sreesanth, Gambhir, Ishant, and Pathan give a mouthful, if they are sledged. Sometimes, there has to be a line drawn for cricketers too, but controlled aggression is not bad.

Kohli has had some disciplinary problems in the short span of his cricketing career. The recent controversy that made the news was the middle finger sign that he showed to the SCG crowd, which brought him into bad light. Virat has a great future ahead of him, but he needs to be careful about it, as things like these may make him for a potential hero to a zero. He needs to draw the line and things would fall acordingly for him. We do not want another Andrew Symonds for India.
