With the opening ceremony done, it’s now time for IPL 2025 matches to begin. The first game is set to take place at the iconic Eden Gardens, featuring defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders facing off against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
KKR made some bold decisions ahead of the season, as they are all set with their new captain, Ajinkya Rahane. On the other hand, RCB also saw a major leadership shift, releasing Faf du Plessis and appointing Rajat Patidar as their new skipper. After falling short in the Eliminator last season, both teams are ready for a fresh start.
