Studies and Sports go hand in hand very rarely. One who wants to excel in sports, in most cases, has to convince with their academic performance. It is a known fact that the "God of cricket" Sachin Tendulkar was so consumed by the sport that he failed his class 10 exams.
However, there are also the likes of Javagal Srinath, Anil Kumble and VVS Laxman who managed to balance both sports and academics.
With that said, wouldn't you be interested to know how much the most talented captains of Indian cricket MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli scored in their class 10 & 12 exams?
We've got you the numbers.
Dhoni managed to score 66% in class 10 and 56% in class 12. Apparently, Dhoni was not very good in academics, but when it comes to cricket he is definitely the class topper.
Virat Kohli too was not a studious student. Maths was one subject he feared the most during his school days.
“So in Math, we used to have exams and the maximum marks we could get in 100, right. I used to get 3, I was that good. And I did not understand, why someone would even want to learn math. I could not understand the complications behind it, I have never used those formulas in life” Virat had said in 2019 during a chat show ‘In Depth With Graham Bensinger’.
“I just wanted to get through my 10th Grade exam because they used to happen at a state level and after that you could choose if you wanted to continue with math or not. I’m telling you, have never worked that hard in cricket the way I did to pass in that exam,” he added.
