With Class 10 and 12 board results declared across India, emotions are running high. While some are celebrating their achievement, others are disheartened with poor marks or failing grades. Against this background, Virat Kohli's Class 10 marksheet went viral on social media, evoking a variety of reactions from fans.
Kohli started playing cricket at a young age and dropped out of school after clearing Class 11. He had already established himself by taking India to the Under-19 World Cup title at that time. He played international cricket for the first time at the age of 19. His school performance indicates that he was not one of the top scorers particularly in mathematics, where he only scored 51 marks, the lowest.
The marksheet was first shared by Jitin Yadav, a IAS officer, in August 2023. It showcased Kohli's impressive scores in English (83) and social science (81) and middle-of-the-road scores for science, IT, and Hindi. The accompanying message resonated: academic grades do not equate to success. Important factors are a passion for something, hard work, and never quitting.
