Fans Honor Virat Kohli at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium
During the IPL 2025 match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), cricket enthusiasts at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium showcased their admiration for Virat Kohli by donning white Test jerseys emblazoned with his name. This heartfelt display came shortly after Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket, a decision he shared via an Instagram post on May 12, just weeks before India's tour of England.
In a touching moment that has since gone viral, a young boy proudly displayed Kohli's Test jersey during his university graduation ceremony. As he was called to the stage, the audience erupted in cheers, and he held up the jersey with immense pride. The video of this moment was shared on social media, quickly capturing the attention of many.

Kohli's Performance in IPL 2025
Having stepped back from Test and T20I formats, Virat Kohli is now focusing solely on ODIs for the Indian team. Currently, he is representing RCB in the IPL 2025 season, where he has emerged as the standout performer.
In 11 innings, Kohli has amassed 505 runs, boasting an impressive average of 63.12. He has remained unbeaten in three innings and has achieved seven half-centuries, setting a record for the most half-centuries by any player this season.
Kohli's next match will be against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in match 65 of IPL 2025, scheduled for May 23 at 7:30 PM IST at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Following a washout in their last game against KKR, RCB currently holds the second position in the points table with 17 points, having won 8 matches, lost 3, and one match resulted in no result. After the Gujarat Titans' victory over Delhi Capitals in match 60, RCB has secured a spot in the IPL 2025 playoffs and is now vying for the top position.
