Talismanic Team India cricketer Virat Kohli shared a snapshot of his 10th-grade marksheet with a rather wacky caption on Thursday.
"It's funny how the things that add the least to your marksheet, add the most to your character," Kohli wrote on Indian microblogging platform Koo.

The 34-year-old batter's post, subsequently, went viral on both Koo and Twitter, with his vast legion of fans sharing their thoughts about Kohli's school grades.
"King ki marksheet. Virat Kohli shares his marksheet. Where is sports? We all now," a fan said on Twitter.
"This will inspire many younsters! Thanks for posting," another added.
Like many other Team India cricketers, including star all-rounder Hardik Pandya, Kohli was forced to quit his studies to pursue his passion for sports.
The former India captain, however, managed to pass 12th grade at a school in Delhi before abandoning his studies altogether to devote all his time to becoming an international cricketer.
In the end, his hard work paid off as he went on to accomplish many firsts in the game.
Earlier this month, Kohli ended his over three-year wait for a hundred in the longest format of the sport, Test cricket. Kohli's latest Test century, his 28th, came against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy about two weeks ago.
He's currently preparing for the new season of the Indian Premier League which begins on 31st March in Ahmedabad. Kohli will represent the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the cash-rich domestic competition for the 16th year in a row.
