Virat Kohli shared a snippet of his 10th grade mark sheet on a micro-blogging site with a caption that has driven the fans crazy. Kohli is currently gearing up for the Indian Premier League 2023, where he will be plying his trade for Royal Challengers Bangalore.
“It’s funny how the things that add the least to your mark sheet, add the most to your character,” read Kohli’s caption. However, he deleted that post after some time.
Kohli will be seen in action when Royal Challengers Bangalore square off against Mumbai Indians to start their campaign in the Indian Premier League. Chinnawamy Stadium, where the RCB play their home games, was jam-packed with fans who assembled to see Kohli in the practice session. He batted for close to thirty minutes, and looked in solid touch, smashing numerous sixes, much to the fans’ amazement.
Kohli has been the face of the RCB ever since the beginning and led the franchise for over a decade before stepping down from the captaincy last year. Faf du Plessis was announced as the successor, and this will be his second season in charge. Despite not winning the IPL even once, they are amongst the top-performing teams in terms of revenue, and it is all down to the popularity of Kohli.
Sanjay Manjrekar, the former cricketer, has backed RCB to end their title drought this season. “Yes, I feel Virat Kohli’s dream of winning the trophy will come true this time. They have a wonderful bowling attack. If Faf du Plessis scores runs, they will have a great chance,” said Manjrekar.
“Virat has been so good for so long that the standards he had set were high for even him to achieve. The expectations from him are so much that, even if he was the highest run-scorer of 3 of the past 5 series for India, no one talks about that because he didn’t score the hundred and didn’t reach the heights that he set for himself,” said Hesson. t
