Virat Kohli recently announced his retirement from Test cricket. He will no longer be seen playing in this format. After this decision, Kohli will take the field for the first time tomorrow, which is Saturday. IPL 2025 is starting again, and the first match after the restart will be Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) facing Kolkata Knight Riders at RCB’s home ground. Before this match, the sale of Kohli’s Test jersey has suddenly gone up. His number 18 Test jersey is being sold at many shops in Bangalore, and fans are buying it in large numbers.
What Is the Reason Behind the Sudden Demand?
Now, everyone is wondering why the demand for Kohli’s jersey has suddenly increased. The reason is a special tribute planned by his fans. Before the match against Kolkata, some RCB fans requested ticket holders to wear Kohli’s Test jersey and come to the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on match day. This emotional appeal touched many fans, and now, people are buying the jersey in large numbers.
A Unique Tribute by RCB Fans
Instead of RCB’s usual red jersey, the Chinnaswamy Stadium will be filled with fans wearing Team India’s jersey number 18. It’s a unique way for RCB fans to pay tribute to their star player.
Kohli Did Not Get a Farewell Test
Kohli has joined the list of Indian players who retired without playing a farewell Test match. His last Test was played against Australia in Sydney from January 3 to 5, 2025. India lost that match, and it turned out to be Kohli’s final appearance in Test cricket.
