After a week's suspension due to geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan, the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 resumes on May 17, with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) taking on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). The RCB vs KKR IPL 2025 match will be held at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. RCB are second in the IPL 2025 points table, while KKR, who are the defending champions, are in sixth place in the standings. A win here will have RCB's one foot in the playoffs. However, KKR must win this encounter to stay virtually alive in the race to the playoffs.
