Speaking about ex-India captain Virat Kohli's future, Sri Lanka's 1996 World Cup-winning captain Arjuna Ranatunga said, "Why always have the spotlight on him? It's quite unnecessary, I feel." He added, "For a player like Kohli, who has scored so many runs, I feel it's best if that is left to him." Ranatunga stated the decision is entirely up to Kohli.
