Kohli only studied till class 12 and waved goodbye to education afterward to pursue his dream as a cricketer. He completed his schooling at Savior Convent School in Paschim Vihar, Delhi. He cleared 10th grade in 2004 from the same school.

In the mark sheet Kohli shared, there are subjects like English, Hindi, Science and Technology, Mathematics, Social Sciences, and Introductory IT (Information Technology). In all the subjects, the cricketer seemed to be an average student considering that he was also training by day as a batsman.?

While sharing the mark sheet, Kohli pointed out how there was no mention of a sport on the official scoreboard. This lack of sports education and training in the country leads to many talents like Kohli going unnoticed and ultimately wasted. He noted the lack of sports in Indian schools in his caption which read, “It's funny how the things that add the least to your marksheet, add the most to your character. #LetThereBeSport.”
