At the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 opener between the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will take place. Since the two teams have created some memorable games and intriguing moments, this matchup is not to be missed.
However, KKR has the advantage over RCB because they have won three IPL crowns and have a significant lead in head-to-head matches. KKR has won 21 of the 35 games between the two teams, while RCB has won 14.
But do you know the last time RCB defeated KKR in the IPL? Three years must have passed before the outcome had favored RCB.
When RCB last gained two points against the three-time champions, they defeated KKR at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai in the 2022 Indian Premier League by chasing down 129.
If you want to defeat KKR at Eden Gardens, you’ll need to go back six years to 2019. Despite Andre Russell’s stunning 25-ball 65 in the game, KKR lost by 10 runs as they attempted to reach 314.
Who will get the two points this time? KKR or RCB? Or will rain play spoilsport?
