The much-anticipated IPL 2025 clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Kolkata Knight Riders was cut short by relentless rain in Bengaluru on Saturday, forcing both teams to share a solitary point each. This washout marked the resumption of the tournament after a week-long break but ultimately proved bittersweet for the fans and teams alike.

The defending champions KKR’s campaign came to an unfortunate end, finishing with just 12 points from 13 matches, thereby confirming their exit from the playoffs contention. On the other hand, RCB, having enjoyed a stellar season so far, moved to the summit of the points table with 17 points following the shared point, reinforcing their position as strong contenders for the playoffs.
