Did RCB qualify for IPL 2025 play -off matches to wash against KKR? Check out the complete scenarios | Mint

The guard for the resumption of the Indian Premier League season 18 continues, as the match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Kolkata Knight Riders was washed off on Friday due to rain. The heavy rain showers at Chinnaswamy Stadium also have the hope of KKR to qualify for the IPL 2025 play -off matches because they have collected 12 points out of 13 games and can now accumulate a maximum of 14 points, even if they win their final IPL match of the season. Meanwhile, RCB has moved to the first position in the points table and only needs one more win to ensure a play -off match comfortably. They will play the Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants on May 27 on May 23. With the play -off match this year, teams will also focus on finishing second to get an advantage in the IPL play -off match. In general, RCB will not be too concerned about the outcomes of the matches. However, RCB fans hope to say goodbye to their hero Virat Kohli would be seriously disappointed. Kohli recently announced that it is retiring from the Test matches. The announcement by the batter comes just before the Five Match in the English Series series by the BCCI. How many matches were washed out at Chinnaswamy Stadium? In the history of the Indian Premier League, only a very small number of games were affected by rain, and the majority of gene results and fully deserted matches took place at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. A total of seven games were completely washed out due to rain on the venue, including Saturday’s collision.
