Before the Indian Premier League 2025 match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), supporters of Virat Kohli were seen buying and donning the jersey number 18 in pure white outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. In the game’s longest format, fans are anticipated to pay tribute to Kohli for his contributions to Indian cricket.
Before the game versus KKR, RCB’s caps, jerseys, and other memorabilia were offered for sale outside the stadium. To honour the former Indian captain, a large crowd of supporters wearing white Indian Test jerseys bearing the number 18 were present hours before the game began. To commemorate Virat Kohli’s Test legacy, several people brought posters featuring catchphrases.
A large audience was present, causing heavy traffic to be seen outside the stadium. Regarding the IPL’s comeback and the 36-year-old’s retirement from the game’s oldest format, fans were questioned in interviews. Outside the stadium, cries of “RCB” and “Virat” indicated that the police had effectively managed the crowd.

The IPL 2025 resuming match pits RCB against KKR.
The first game between RCB and KKR since the IPL 2025 was halted owing to security concerns will take place. To qualify for Qualifier 1, RCB has a solid chance of placing in the top two of the points table. However, in order for KKR to remain in the competition, they must win this match.
In the 18th league season, the reigning champions have not performed at their peak. To have a decent chance of defending their title, they would like to strive their hardest to make it to the playoffs.
According to the prediction, rain may disrupt their game by interfering with play and tossing. The home team’s postseason eligibility would be confirmed with a victory. The reigning champions would be eliminated if they lost or even if the game was called off without a conclusion.
