RCB vs KKR Head-to-head stats and records you need to know before Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Kolkata Knight Riders IPL 2025 match

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in match number 58 of IPL 2025 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday, May 17. This game will mark the resumption of IPL 2025 after the T20 league was suspended for a week following the abandonment of the clash between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC) in Dharamsala on May 8.

With 16 points from 11 matches, RCB are just one win away from securing their playoffs berth. A triumph on Saturday against KKR will also take them to the top of the points table. Bengaluru are on a four-match winning streak. However, it remains to be seen whether the unexpected break affects their momentum.

KKR are in sixth position in the IPL 2025 points table, with 11 points from 12 matches. They have only a mathematical chance of making it to the playoffs. Kolkata's chances suffered a major setback following their two-wicket loss to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their previous match at the Eden Gardens.
