Eden Gardens or Narendra Modi Stadium? CAB Unhappy With BCCI's Stance Over IPL 2025 Final Venue, Calls it 'Unfair'

IPL 2025 Final: It is yet to be confirmed where will the IPL 2025 final happen. Initially, Eden Gardens in Kolkata was the venue, but now multiple reports claim that the Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) wants to move it out of the city because there are forecasts of rain. The Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) has taken offense to it and are now stating that it is impossible to predict the weather for June 3 - the revised date of the summit clash.

The side have not looked or played like defending champions this year. They would surely have a lot of thinking to do as an unit once the season comes to an end. 

On the other hand, RCB would realise they merely need a win to seal their spot in the final. Spotlight will be on Kohli as it will be his first game after retiring from Tests.
