RCB vs KKR Match Highlights: The Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders were supposed to continue the second inning start to the IPL 2025 edition. The match was the first match to be played after the IPL was halted due to some unforeseen situations seen across the nation due to a war-like situation and cross-border firing between India and its neighbouring nation.
The last match of the IPL between the Punjab Kings and the Delhi Capitals was called off midway after a 100+ partnership in the first 10 overs of the match, as Dharamshala was severely under threat of missiles. Now, this game marked at the Chinnaswamy Stadium has been washed out due to continuous rainfall, and fans’ special tribute to their star Virat Kohli also went in vain. The legend retired from the longest format of the game, and hence, Virat fans gathered with white shirts with the number 18 on their backs to honour the legend’s great Test career.

RCB vs KKR Match Highlights: RCB Qualification Chances into the playoffs of IPL 2025

While Royal Challengers Bangalore have qualified for the IPL playoffs as the first team in this edition of the Indian Premier League 2025. With a shared point each due to the washed-out game, RCB have reached 17 points and have qualified for the playoffs as the first team.
RCB vs KKR Match Highlights: KKR Qualification Chances for the playoffs of IPL 2025
With only one game left after their second match of the season being washed out due to rain, KKR, even after a win in their last game, can go on to a maximum of 14 points. With the top four teams already ahead of KKR with RCB (17 points), GT (16 points), PBKS (15 points) and MI (14 points), the chances of KKR making it to the top four even after a huge win in the last game seem very insignificant.
KKR are in all ways eliminated from the race for the playoffs for this edition of the IPL, as the defending champions will play their last game of the season as a dead rubber but will look to end it on a strong note to bounce back in the upcoming season.
