In an interview with PTI, Rajapaksa said, "Outside of the team, Virat Kohli is always someone I could speak to and get some fitness advice. He's at another different level when it comes to fitness."

Rajapaksa further said, "To me, he is the Cristiano Ronaldo of cricket for sure." He feels that if he is fit, his international career would be longer.
