As the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) announced its Class 10 results on Tuesday, an unexpected document began trending on social media — the 10th-grade mark sheet of none other than Indian cricket star Virat Kohli.
The sudden spotlight on Kohli’s school marks follows his retirement from Test cricket, which he announced on May 12, drawing both surprise and emotion from fans across the globe.
The former captain, who has played 123 Test matches and scored 9,230 runs, including 30 centuries, stepped down after what many considered a prolonged dry spell at the crease over the past five years.
In the wake of his retirement, Kohli’s purported Class 10 CBSE marksheet from 2004 has gone viral. He scored 419 out of 600 marks, a detail that sparked widespread online discussion after being shared by IAS officer Jitin Yadav.
The post struck a chord with students and sports fans alike, serving as a reminder that academic scores do not define one’s potential or legacy. For Kohli, it’s clear that what followed school was a journey of grit, discipline, and unmatched sporting achievement.
