RCB vs KKR IPL 2025 Match Alternate Scenario 

KKR need to win this match at any cost to keep their IPL playoff hopes alive, while RCB would be happy with a point if the match is washed out.

The match will start losing overs from 8:45 PM IST, while the cut-off time for a five-over match is 10:56 PM IST. KKR already witnessed a washout against Punjab Kings and will be crashed out of the IPL 2025 if the match doesn't take place. Rain hasn't stopped, and it remains to be seen how the scenario unfolds if the situation persists.

Virat Kohli's Form Has Been Crucial For RCB in IPL 2025

Should the match start, all the focus will be on Virat Kohli, who will be in action for the first time since he announced his retirement from Test cricket. The 36-year-old has been central to RCB's plans and has smashed 505 runs in 11 matches with a strike rate of 143.46. He can reclaim the Orange Cap by adding six more runs to his tally.

Virat is also on the verge of topping the half-century count in IPL history. The RCB stalwart needs a half-century to leapfrog David Warner from the list of most IPL fifties. Virat's form will be crucial as RCB are in search of their maiden title since the inception of IPL in 2008.
