Fans Plan Emotional Tribute for Virat Kohli in RCB vs KKR Clash as IPL 2025 Resumes
Virat Kohli Tribute : As IPL 2025 gets set to resume on May 17, all eyes will be on the high-voltage clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. But this won’t just be another IPL fixture — it will mark Virat Kohli’s first match since his emotional retirement from Test cricket. And his fans are planning a truly heartfelt tribute.
Earlier this week, on May 12, Virat Kohli officially announced his retirement from Test cricket, ending a glorious red-ball career that inspired millions. Now, with the IPL resuming, RCB fans are preparing to honor their hero in a unique and emotional way.
Dear @RCBTweets , This is How chinnaswamy should look on 17 May.

Fans to Wear White in Honor of Kohli’s Test Legacy
In a viral campaign that’s gaining massive traction on social media, fans are urging each other to attend the RCB vs KKR match dressed in white — the traditional color of Test cricket. The initiative is meant to pay homage to Kohli’s remarkable Test journey, which spanned over a decade and saw him become one of the all-time greats of the format.
The message being shared online reads:
“For the next RCB match, can you help spread this message and encourage fans to wear white to the stadium as a tribute to Virat Kohli? He made many of us fall in love with Test cricket. This gesture will show that his impact isn’t just in numbers, but in our hearts.”
Fans believe that seeing the sea of white in the crowd at Chinnaswamy — instead of RCB’s usual red and black — will be a powerful visual tribute to a man who gave his all for Indian Test cricket.

Free White T-Shirts to Be Distributed Outside the Stadium
Supporters are also discussing plans to distribute plain white T-shirts outside the stadium to those who may not have one. Influencers, fan pages, and cricket communities have all joined in to amplify the message across platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
With Kohli’s Test retirement stirring emotions across the cricketing world, this fan-led initiative reflects the deep respect and admiration he commands, not just for his records, but for the passion and pride he brought to the game.
As Kohli walks onto the field this Saturday, he’ll not just be greeted with applause — but possibly with a stadium glowing in white, a symbol of the legacy he leaves behind in Test cricket.
