Virat always scored well in his exams: Vibha Sachdeva
Speaking further Virat Kohli’s childhood teacher Vibha Sachdeva also revealed that apart from his cricketing skills, Kohli also had great academic records and used to score well in the exams. She said that Virat was an above average student and only used to lose his marks when he gave more time to cricket practice.
“Virat always scored well in his exams. He was an above-average performer, and the only time he would lose a few marks was when his practices took his time away. ‘I prepared for my exam late after I came back from my practices', Was something that we used to hear very frequently from him. He worked very hard to excel in both sports and academics, and the teachers at Vishal Bharti Public School, Paschim Vihar fully understood his struggle and cooperated with him by giving him added guidance,” she further said.
