The IPL 2025 was a host to KKR vs RCB on its opening day. The match between the two teams took place at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Saturday (22nd March). The Rajat Patidar-led side started the league on high as they beat the defending champions by seven wickets.
Asked to bat, Kolkata Knight Riders had the worst possible start to their innings as Quinton de Kock (4) was back in the hut in the first over. But, after that, skipper Ajinkya Rahane (56) and Sunil Narine (44) led the rescue charge and played brilliantly.
While the captain was off to a rollicking start, Narine took some time to get going but ensured he made a big impact. The Rahane-Narine duo added 103 runs for the second wicket to put KKR in the driver's seat. But it was Krunal Pandya who brought Royal Challengers Bengaluru back into the game with two quick wickets.
The visitors kept chipping in with wickets at regular intervals but Angkrish Raghuvanshi (30) came up with the decent effort as KKR posted a total of 174 for eight. For Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Pandya bagged three wickets while Josh Hazlewood also picked two scalps.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru were off to a flying start with the bat in the chase. Phil Salt (56) and Virat Kohli (59*) came out all guns blazing and slammed 95 runs for the opening stand to put pressure on the Kolkata Knight Riders right from the start.
Devdutt Padikkal, who walked out at three, didn't have a great outing as he was back in the hut for ten. Kohli carried his bat through and slammed a magnificent half-century. Captain Rajat Patidar (34) also played a brilliant hand as Royal Challengers Bengaluru chased the target with seven wickets in hand.
