Fitness- “Satisfactory”, Temperament- “Aggressive”: Young Virat Kohli’s Evaluation Sheet Resurfaces Online From 2002

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is set to complete its 2026 leg with the final between the Royal Challengers Bengaluru and the winner of today’s qualifier between the Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals. This season has been fruitful for some, while marked by hardships for others. Former India and RCB skipper Virat Kohlihas once again stamped his dominance in white-ball cricket with 600 runs this season and a strike rate of 164.38. Whether it's his technique or running between the wickets, Kohli has always been the epitome of Fitness. But according to the internet, his fitness was once “satisfactory”.

An old evaluation sheet of Virat Kohli from West Delhi Cricket Academy’s 2002 batch has resurfaced online. The sheet consists of the RCB star’s personal details, cricket details, evaluation and recommendation. In the sheet, young Virat has received an overall rating of 4 out of 5. He has been evaluated 4 in batting, fielding and temperament. Surprisingly, the sheet shows a rating of 3 in fitness with remarks as “satisfactory”. The sheet also shows a rating of 2 in bowling.

Although the sheet has the signature of Rajkumar Sharma, West Delhi Cricket Academy’s coach. But there isn’t any official statement by either Sharma or West Delhi Cricket Academy. Pictures like this have surfaced all over the internet in the past as well, so many think that this might be an AI-generated image again.

Some fans have been linking the spat between Australian batter Travis Head and Virat Kohli during the SRH Vs RCB game. The evaluation sheet rates young Kohli’s temperament 4 out of 5 with the remarks “aggressive” and “determined”, which directly gives the impression of Kohli being aggressive since childhood.

The entire incident between two ace batters in cricket started when Head reportedly sledged Kohli to play more attacking shots. Kohli sarcastically asked Head to come and bowl himself, and when the RCB batter was dismissed early, Head hit back, saying that before he could come to bowl, Kohli was already sent back to the pavilion. During the post-match greetings, Kohli did not shake hands with Head.

This fight escalated online, and Head’s wife, Jessica, later opened up that he has been receiving severe online abuse, and the trolls have been attacking her friends and family.
