Is Virat Kohli a 12th pass?

Unlike most careers in the world, that demand that a person be backed up by educational qualifications, sports and films depend on raw talent and hard work. In such a scenario, most sportspersons and film personalities chose to drop out of the formal education circuit and concentrate instead, on making it in their chosen field. With the exception of some notable players like Rahul Dravid, Anil Kumble and R Ashwin, most Indian cricketers either choose not to - or in some cases like Sachin Tendulkar - do not get the time to study any further than Grade 10 or 12 in India.

Similarly, India's skipper Virat Kohli has completed his education only up to High School at the Vishal Bharati Public School and does not hold a college degree, according to multiple reports. Anushka Sharma, on the other hand, has not just a graduate degree but also holds a post-graduate degree in Economics as per her interview with a leading Indian publication back in May 2017. In an education-obsessed society like ours, however, it is more important to note that despite Kohli's basic education, he has excelled in the game he has chosen to play and is known worldwide for his talent and prowess while Anushka has also chosen to go off the path taken usually despite her high level of education.
