“His eyes were very expressive. Virat was an active participant in all the school activities, he was an enthusiastic and eager participant of all the interhouse activities. ‘Ma’am, I will be the next Sachin Tendulkar of Indian Team‘ was the oft repeated quote, yes at that time sometimes it made us smile at the sheer grit and confidence of the wide eyed boy.”

She said that Virat was an above-average student and remarked on his academic record.

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.”
