The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season opener features the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) hosting the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at Eden Gardens on March 22. Both teams enter the tournament with new leadership: KKR under Ajinkya Rahane and RCB led by Rajat Patidar. KKR, the defending champions, are known for their aggressive batting and potent spin attack, spearheaded by Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine. In contrast, RCB struggled last season but have bolstered their squad by acquiring Phil Salt and Suyash Sharma from KKR. However, inclement weather threatens the opener, with forecasts predicting rain during match hours, potentially disrupting play.
