Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has expressed concern over Virat Kohli's ODI future after Rohit Sharma's reported exclusion from India's one-day setup. Ashwin cautioned that Kohli could face a similar fate if he fails to perform consistently in the coming weeks, highlighting the selectors' apparent shift towards prioritising form and long-term planning. He stressed that even senior players are no longer guaranteed places based solely on reputation. While Kohli remains a key member of India's batting lineup, Ashwin's remarks underline the increasing competition and pressure on experienced cricketers ahead of major international tournaments.
