The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) announced class 10 and 12 results for 2025 earlier this week, an old educational document of cricket icon Virat Kohli again emerged on social media on its class 10 CBSE marksheet. The document, originally shared by the IAS officer Jitin Yadav on August 9, 2023, went viral again as millions of students across India saw their results. This year, with more than 42 lakh students scoring their marks, Kohli’s minor school score, including 96.3% pass rate in class 10, provided timely reminder that educational performance is not the only route of greatness. The marksheet revealed that Kohli scored 83 (A1 grade) in English and 83 runs in social science (A2), with B1 in Hindi. Their scores in science and introductory IT – C1 and C2, respectively reflect a more average academic profile. In his original post, Yadav wrote: “If the trails were the only factor, the whole nation would no longer be rallied behind it. Passion and dedication are important.”
The emotion echoed widely. As a user made suitable comments, “Marx is only numbers on one sheet – the correct value lies in firmness and dedication.”Quiz: Who is that IPL player?Kohli, who recently retired from Test cricket after a recent 14 -year run, who scored 9230 runs in 123 matches, not only through his sports achievements, but also inspired him through his visit to a global cricket icon from Delhi school school education. With the adoption of a ‘relative grading’ system to reduce stress and more competition between students with CBSE, Kohli’s revival marksheet acts as a powerful example of someone’s career and character is not defined by the initial report card, but what comes after that.
