Renowned commentator Harsha Bhogle lauded Royal Challengers Bengaluru fanbase for their initiative to honour Virat Kohli, who recently announced his retirement from Test cricket. The fans have proposed an all-white tribute during RCB’s upcoming IPL 2025 fixture against Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

On May 12, Kohli stunned the cricketing world by revealing his decision to step away from Test cricket ahead of India’s England tour, concluding an illustrious red-ball career spanning 123 matches. In response, RCB supporters have rallied together, calling on attendees to wear white attire, mimicking Test cricket’s traditional uniform, to the stadium on May 17 as a token of gratitude and admiration for the former India captain’s legacy in the longest format.
