The much-anticipated IPL 2025 clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Kolkata Knight Riders at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium was officially abandoned due to relentless rain. Despite multiple inspections and hopes for a shortened match, the weather failed to improve. As a result, both teams have been awarded one point each. With this outcome, KKR is officially eliminated from the playoff race, while RCB moves to the top of the points table.
RCB vs KKR Match: BCCI’s tribute to Indian soldiers
The BCCI honored the Indian military forces during Saturday’s rain-affected match between RCB and KKR. As supporters waited in the stadium for the action to restart, a picture praising the Indian military personnel appeared on the large screen. The IPL 2025 was suspended for a week on May 08 owing to the India-Pakistan conflict. It resumed tonight, although the RCB vs KKR game could not start due to heavy rain in Bengaluru.
