With a spot in the playoffs on the line, Royal Challengers Bengaluru and defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders are set to get back in action as Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 resumes after a brief halt today at Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium. This will be one of the most anticipated matches in the retiring leg of IPL 2025, as not only will its result affect the playoff race outcome for both RCB and KKR, but also because this is the first match of Virat Kohli after announcing his retirement from Test cricket. The excitement for the match can be gauged from the fact that all the tickets for the game were sold days in advance.

Sea of white at Chinnaswamy: Virat Kohli fans to honour Test legend

Virat Kohli

What began as a modest suggestion by a handful of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) fans swiftly turned into a viral movement. In the wake of Virat Kohli’s recent retirement from Test cricket, fans across the country united to honour the former India captain in a unique and heartfelt way: by wearing white.

A Social Media Ripple Turns Into a Swelling Tide of Emotion

The call to action was simple—don a white Test jersey to RCB’s IPL 2025 match against Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. A gesture rooted in nostalgia, it soon snowballed across social media platforms and fan forums. The white jersey, symbolic of Kohli’s formidable Test legacy, became a collective expression of admiration from fans who had followed his every innings with awe.

The Chinnaswamy periphery transformed into a vibrant, makeshift marketplace. Hawkers, quick to catch the sentiment, swapped their usual red RCB merchandise for crisp white Test replicas. Even the police stationed nearby appeared unbothered as fans eagerly bought jerseys straight off tarpaulins.

From RCB reds to tribute whites

The tribute movement brought a surprising shift in pre-match business dynamics. Street vendors reported a surge in demand for India Test jerseys, particularly those bearing the iconic Kohli 18. Though knockoff Rohit 45 and Dhoni 7 jerseys were also on offer, it was clear which name ruled the moment.

Stacks of white shirts were piled atop the standard RCB reds, capturing the emotional shift in the fanbase. The spontaneous tribute had moved beyond digital space and into the tangible world, with fans wearing their hearts—and their hero—on their sleeves.

ā€œHe Made Us Love Test Cricketā€: Fans Speak

RCB fans didn’t just stop at buying jerseys—they penned emotional messages urging others to join in. One widely shared appeal read:

"He made so many of us fall in love with Test cricket… even though I'll never get to see him play in whites live, I just want him to know how deeply loved he was in his favourite format."

Some fans even offered to raise funds to distribute jerseys outside the stadium, ensuring that no one who wanted to participate would be left out. Whether Test whites or simple white T-shirts, the colour had become a powerful symbol of unity and respect.
