In a social media campaign that’s quickly gaining traction, fans are urging everyone attending the match to wear white – the colour of Test cricket – instead of RCB’s traditional red and black. The aim is to honour Kohli’s remarkable red-ball legacy and show him just how deeply he is admired for his contributions to the longest format.
A widely shared message on social media reads: "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... This gesture could be a powerful way to show that his legacy goes far beyond stats – it lives in the hearts of fans."
The campaign also proposes distributing plain white t-shirts outside the stadium, with influencers and fan pages already sharing the message in large numbers.
With Kohli's Test retirement sparking emotions across the cricketing world, this fan-driven initiative reflects the unmatched bond between the star and his supporters — a tribute befitting a legend.
