If England can, why can't India? Many are bringing references to how James Anderson, the English G.O.A.T. pacer, got a farewell when his daughters came to ring the bell at the Lord's Cricket Ground. A massive crowd turning up to greet the man at the balcony—a scene that is cherished even by the opponents. Sachin Tendulkar remains the rare exception. Many say that he is privileged- 100 international centuries, 15,921 Test runs, and a farewell Test in his own home, the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, with the nation prepared to say goodbye. And now, after Virat Kohli announced his retirement, the fans started urging "something special" for their beloved "King." In the Indian cricket fraternity, this has been happening for a long time: a cricketer walking out without prior notice. Nobody knows which will be that particular cricketer's final match. Guards of honor are saved for numbers and not retirements. In the last few months, India has seen three modern-day legends bidding adieu to certain international formats of cricket. Right after the Gabba Test, Ravichandran Ashwin retired with an easy press conference. Rohit Sharma ditched his fans by leaving the Test format despite assuring them during the Sydney Test that he was going nowhere. And when the fans were still recovering, Virat Kohli, the face of Test cricket for more than a decade, hung the curtain.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru supporters are planning their own farewell. Just like the English crowd at The Oval turned up in white bandanas to bid goodbye to Stuart Broad, RCB fans are preparing to fill the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in whites — a silent salute to their "King." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Virat Kohli Fan Club (@trendvkohli) The story behind Broad's trademark bandana was interesting. It was not that he always promoted that. The pandemic kept the hairdresser's store shut, and he had to use that to keep the locks away and also to prevent the sweat from dripping on his face. But for Virat Kohli, the Test jersey wasn't accidental. He lived for it, fought for it, cherished it, and took his team to the heights that many failed. In many interviews, he revealed that Test cricket was his ultimate aim. Thirty Test centuries, over 9200 runs — yet his legacy runs deeper than numbers. Kohli made India dream, fight, and believe again in the longest format. His passion turned dull sessions into theater. He didn't just play Tests; he redefined them. Had India known that Perth would see Kohli taking off his helmet for the last time Test, had the fans known they had cheered Virat Kohli for one last time in Sydney, they probably would have cheered louder.
