The IPL 2025 is set to resume after an eight-day gap, but then, much to the dismay of the fans, the RCB vs KKR encounter at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, could see rain delays. The tournament was halted on May 8 after the military tensions between India and Pakistan escalated, and now, rain could hamper the proceedings.
IPL 2025 to Resume With RCB vs KKR
As per AccuWeather, there is a 70% chance of precipitation in the city on Saturday and a 42% chance of thunderstorms. Even though the drainage facilities at the Chinnaswamy Stadium are one of the best in the world, still nothing can be said about the weather. Meanwhile, hosts RCB are in a great position to make the playoffs this time around and are in the second spot of the points table, having won eight matches from 11 played.

This upcoming match could serve as a tribute to Virat Kohli, who has just retired from Tests, and the team and the fans would like to thank him for his services to Indian cricket. Having said that, RCB’s record against KKR at home has been rather poor, having lost all their last five encounters at the venue. This time, they would like to settle the score.
On the other hand, KKR are virtually out of the tournament and are in sixth position with 11 points. They can finish with 15 points at best, a number that three teams have already achieved in IPL 2025. A loss here would mean game over for the Ajinkya Rahane-led side.
