RCB Qualify for Playoffs as Rain Washes Out Clash Against KKR

Royal Challengers Bengaluru secured a place in the IPL 2025 playoffs after their match against Kolkata Knight Riders was abandoned due to heavy rain in Bengaluru. The washout meant both teams received one point each. While the point took RCB to 17 from 12 matches, confirming their qualification, it also ended KKR’s hopes of progressing further, as they can now only reach a maximum of 14 points—insufficient with three teams already past that mark. RCB remain in contention for a top-two finish, which would give them two chances at reaching the final. Their final league game is against Sunrisers Hyderabad, a team already knocked out. The match was also notable for an emotional tribute by fans dressed in white to honour Virat Kohli, who recently announced his retirement from Test cricket. Unfortunately, persistent rain prevented any play, leaving fans hoping for better weather in RCB’s remaining home fixture.
