RCB aim for playoffs qualification against KKR as IPL 2025 resumes

As the IPL 2025 is set to resume on Saturday, May 17, RCB will take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. They are currently second on the points table and have had an impressive campaign so far.

Bengaluru have won eight out of their 11 games and, with just three defeats, have 16 points. A win in the upcoming clash at home against KKR will take them to 18 points and seal their spot in the playoffs as well.

They have won all of their last four matches. However, with the break, it will be interesting to see if they can carry the same momentum forward. Moreover, it will be a challenging task for the team as they are likely to miss Josh Hazlewood, who may reportedly not return for the remainder of the season.
