IPL 2025 is going to resume in a few days after the ceasefire between India and Pakistan. The Royal Challengers Bangalore Verses Kolkata Knight Riders match will be played on 17 May. Both teams will hit the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. Fans of star batsman Virat Kohli have made a strong plan for RCB vs KKR match. Fans will not wear RCB jersey in Chinnaswamy. Fans have decided to wear white jersey, which aims to give a special tribute to Kohli. Kohli has recently said goodbye to Test cricket and the fans are trying to do something memorable for their favorite cricketers. Fans have started a campaign in this regard, which is being discussed a lot on social media.
The campaign appeals to all the fans of RCB and Kohli to wear white jerseys instead of RCB’s red and black jersey during the match during the match. Its purpose is to express respect for Virat, who retired from the longest format of the game on 12 May. The viral post said, “Can you help in spreading the stadium wearing a white jersey in the next RCB match? Do this to give a tribute to Virat Kohli. Kohli has made many of us love Test cricket. Even though I will never see them while playing in white jerseys but I just want to tell them how much I want to tell them.”
The post further stated, “This strong gesture will prove that their legacy is far ahead of the figures. It resides in the hearts of the fans. Please think about it and help us in making it a reality. It will mean a lot for many of us. I have also made a template. I also think that we can raise a jersey outside Chinnaswami. Ho, but plain white T-shirts can work. ” Even though a campaign is being run on social media, it will be a matter to be seen or not.
Kohli, 36, made a Test debut in 2011. He scored 123 Test matches for India, scoring 9230 runs at an average of 46.85. He scored 30 centuries during this period. Announcing his retirement on Instagram, Kohli wrote, “It is not easy when I am going away from this format of the game. But it seems right. I have given it my everything and it has given me more than expectations.” He said, “I am taking gratitude for the game, for the people playing on the field and for every person who saw me playing during this time.”
