Ipl 2025 season will begun within few hours of time where three time finalists RCB are going to challenge the three time ipl champions Kkr. Its going to be pretty exciting match between these two teams stating their history of previous ipl matches. In another way its also special it was the opening match of inaugral Ipl season 1 where Brendon Mcullum 158 runs innings just shattered RCB to be in shell shock. 

Where they never been able to recover from that even at the chase too it was seemed that RCB haven't forgot the beating and the total of 223 to chase the target. RCB failed miserably and were all out for 82 giving the victory margin of 140 runs and which is still on the records . Though RCB had their few moments but largely its with KKR.

KKR Best Moments On RCB

There are several moments where KKR have been in a dominating position against RCB one such match was in 2017 in Eden Gardens where RCB chose to bowl first and KKR scumbled in between though their opening batter Sunil Narine gave a good start 34 off 17 balls but what followed for kkr was wickets falling at regular intervals and at last the were bundled out for 131 runs. It would have been an easy chase for RCB if have played slowly too. 

RCB opted out to chase where it looked like the star-studded team would complete the match within 15 overs. But what just happened was even more dramatic when Gayle and Kohli were back into the hut within a few minutes but it was not the case which followed next within reaching 20 runs RCB half of the side was demolished by Kkr bowlers after that what followed was even astonishing where RCB were bowled out for 49 runs which was the lowest ever total by them. 

KKR Best playing Xi For The Game

Kolkata had a great auction this year retaining their core team. But they had to let go of their captain Shreyas Iyer due to credibility issues when he had been bought by Punjab Kings for 26 crores. Where else KKR will be led by Ajinkya Rahane who was bought at 1 crore.
