Former Sri Lanka captain Sanath Jayasuriya has lauded Virat Kohli for his leadership qualities in his initial days as Test skipper.
"He (Virat Kohli) is doing well. Remember, he has just started out.
"He needs to spend a little bit more time with the players. He will learn everyday.
"But given by what have seen till now, he has good leadership skills,” said, the 46-year-old former all-rounder.
'Virat is playing according to the situation'
Jayasuriya though didn't read too much into the five-bowler theory and termed it as just a conditional strategy.
"Well, five-bowler theory and all depends on the kind of wicket you are playing on. It also depends on what a captain wants and he (Virat) is playing according to the situation. So if if wants to play five bowlers, he will back them and it's also tells about a captain's confidence in his players," he said.
"You got to have experienced players to help you out like the coach and the management. So sometimes you go in five, sometimes with four bowlers.
"There are lot of permutations and combinations you can go in with but only when you settle down as a player. Risk-taking factor increases with the maturity level of a player," he added.
