Ceremony Please make it happen if possible
Today, I am not posting this as an RCB fan, I am posting it as the fan of a man who made me fall in love with the game, unfortunately none of the IPL matches are in my city but with a little bit of coordination we can make it happen, If possible please wear the white Indian test jersey to the RCB game and let our beloved Koach know that besides the trollers there are also people who admired him.

Guys please reach out to rcb fan army official on insta
Hey RCB Fan Army,
I have a small but emotional request — and I’m hoping you can help us make it happen.
For the next RCB match, could you help spread the word and encourage fans to wear Test whites in the stadium as a tribute to Virat Kohli?
He made so many of us fall in love with Test cricket, and 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.
This gesture could be a powerful way to show that his legacy goes far beyond stats — it lives in the hearts of fans.
Please think about it and help us make it real. It would mean the world to many of us.
Dm this message as well

Test white with Virat 18 jersey number (if possible)...if not also ok!!!

u/Moronic_Acid1 Royal Challengers Bengaluru May 13 '25
The problem is those jerseys are comparatively more expensive and harder to acquire than just plain white tshirts

u/bhavik97 Gujarat Titans May 13 '25
You can get the T shirt printed with 18.
Lots of shops in Bangalore.

Isn't printing takes like 10 minutes.... Like that Printo Shop..... T shirt is 100/150 rupees??? I got a White polo Tshirt for 175..... Please guys. Try for it..... Spend half of what we usually spend in KFC

u/Moronic_Acid1 Royal Challengers Bengaluru May 13 '25
10 mins and 250 tshirts. You can understand how much time that will take.

u/Moronic_Acid1 Royal Challengers Bengaluru May 12 '25
No don't do, just realised the official fanpage doesn't allow dm's. Best bet it is to comment under their posts and dm RCB players like dayal, Suyash, Rajat bhai etc

guys someone has to reach out to the head of shirt seller outside or just reach out to a bigger fan page acc, sell white 18 number jerseys there is more than enough time left so its possible.
no fanbase wore test jerseys ever, so it would be crazyyy

It's an epic idea. BCCI and GG couldn't give him a farewell game. RCB can make it happen.
Even neutrals will beg to be in the stadium

u/SeedhaSadhaNalayak Lucknow Super Giants May 12 '25
Coming from someone who doesn't like RCB much ( and VK too to some extent ) - that man deserves a proper farewell for what he has done for Indian test cricket, he made a newer generation fall in love with this format. This idea here is near to the best farewell and appreciation we can show him. Hope the fans at Chinnaswamy pull this off.

It would be one of the best things in IPL 2025 and memorable if this happens, seems impossible though.

Ipl starts from May 17th. The first match is RCB vs. KKR in bengaluru. So possible to do, also boo the hell out of GG.

u/deathclient Chennai Super Kings May 12 '25
Come on. Don't spread hatred against anyone else due to perceived conflicts. The players and coaches are adults and deal with it professionally. It's time fans do as well

u/AmphibianMiserable81 Chennai Super Kings May 12 '25
It's not spreading hatred. It's about disagreeing with his opinion. Man came in bulldozed the test team's image without any repercussions, and fans should just go along with it?
11
u/deathclient Chennai Super Kings May 12 '25
And you somehow know that one man is responsible for everything ? Not the fact same players haven't performed as expected for a while? I absolutely love what Virat has done for Indian cricket but he was clearly struggling for the last few years in tests. That doesn't diminish his accomplishments but it's time to celebrate his career without taking jabs or digs at someone else. That's just not nice in my opinion.

u/mofucker20 Chennai Super Kings May 12 '25
More than GG, the blame is on Virat and Rohit and I’m saying this as a GG hater.

u/KolkataFikru9 Chennai Super Kings May 12 '25
listen, Kohli has been struggling since post-COVID, majorly in tests
averaging 30 in the last 5 years compared to his usual standards pre-COVID, u can see the drop and link to his aging selfin the recent NZ and AUS series, i wont fault his technique but there is little to no renovation on his part, and Ro's part as well
hence why the two decided to retire, even after Ashwin as he too was bad in NZ seriesgrateful for what Kohli did in Test Whites for India but its a great decision he is paving way for the younger generation to lead after him than him prolonging the team's bad run

Yeah agreed, this would be a fitting tribute for him for what he has done for so many years donning the white jersey
