As the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) released the 2025 Class 10 and 12 results earlier this week, recording a high national pass percentage of 96.3, a throwback academic record of Indian cricketer Virat Kohli began trending across social platforms.
The Class 10 marksheet belonging to the former Indian Test captain resurfaced online shortly after IAS officer Jitin Yadav re-shared it on X (formerly Twitter). Originally posted in August 2023, the document went viral once again, generating extensive engagement and reflection beyond the statistics.
Kohli’s marks reflect modest academic performance. He earned 83 in English (graded A1), 81 in Social Science (A2), and 75 in Hindi (B1). His grades in Mathematics (C2), Science and Technology (C1), and Introductory Information Technology (C2) placed him in average performance brackets.
In his post, Yadav included a note highlighting the broader takeaway: “If marks were the only criteria, India wouldn’t be cheering for him today. It’s about perseverance and passion.” The comment sparked a wider discussion around how academic records don’t always determine long-term achievement.
Social media users widely shared the post, agreeing that grades are temporary, while dedication and vision lead to true impact. The post’s timing—coinciding with the CBSE result declaration—added relevance for students reflecting on their own outcomes.
This development also arrives shortly after Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket, marking the end of a 14-year chapter in red-ball international cricket. Fans globally responded emotionally to the announcement.
