The much awaited edition of the Indian Premier League 2025 season is about to begin today, as Kolkata Knight Riders will be going against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The match between KKR and RCB will be played at the Eden Gardens, which also provides home ground advantage to the defending champions. Fans are a lot excited for this game, which is set to start tonight at 7:30 PM IST, following the opening ceremony of the tournament.
However, the match is likely to be affected due to the rain, as Kolkata has been given an orange alert for the day. With both teams looking forward to starting off their new campaign on a winning note, rain could possibly play an important role to decide which team is able to get the edge. But there are also chances that the match might get abandoned due to the rain.
In the previous season, Kolkata Knight Riders secured the title, defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad in the tournament finals. Thus, they will be entering with high hopes in the current edition, as they face off against the arch rivals Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the next game.
Since this is the 18th season of the tournament, Virat Kohli will also be eager to create a mark once again for his team and get off to a strong start in the tournament. Kohli performed well in the previous season, winning the Orange Cap, as RCB finished 4th in the standings, losing against Rajasthan Royals in the Eliminator.
