KKR vs RCB Match Preview, IPL 2025: Eden prepares for battle of contrasting DNAs
India TodayRoyal Challengers Bengaluru meet Kolkata Knight Riders in the opener of the Indian Premier League's 2025 season. While the first meeting was a heated one, owing to Virat Kohli's controversial dismissal against Harshit Rana, RCB were blown away in the second encounter as KKR chased down 183 runs in just 16.5 overs at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. IPL 2025 Coverage | IPL Points Table | IPL Schedule The last time RCB played KKR in the first match of the Indian Premier League, they were blown out of the water. In many ways, Brendon McCullum's knock of 158* off 73 balls made the IPL the hugely popular tournament it is today, and once again one hopes that this rivalry will give the tournament the start that it deserves after the power-packed last season. RCB imported two of KKR's talents in the 2025 mega-auction — Phil Salt and Suyash Sharma, one player each from two poles of the KKR side.
