The countdown to IPL 2025 is almost over, and cricket fans are in for a thrilling start! On March 22, 2025, at Eden Gardens, defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will lock horns with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in a fiery season opener. With Ajinkya Rahane leading KKR, the team is eager to kick off their title defense in style.
KKR’s Powerhouse Squad Ready to Dominate
KKR has retained some of their most explosive players, including Andre Russell, Rinku Singh, and Varun Chakravarthy. With a mix of experience and firepower, they aim to dominate the league once again.
RCB’s Hunger for Their First Title
On the other side, RCB, led by Rajat Patidar, is determined to break their title jinx this season. Backed by Virat Kohli, Josh Hazlewood, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, RCB boasts a solid lineup. Last season, they made it to the playoffs but fell short against Rajasthan Royals in the Eliminator. This time, they are ready to go all the way.
With KKR looking to assert dominance and RCB desperate for a winning start, fans can expect a nail-biting encounter between these two powerhouses.

With a formidable batting lineup featuring Ajinkya Rahane, Andre Russell, and Rinku Singh, KKR looks well-equipped to tackle RCB. Additionally, Varun Chakravarthy’s lethal spin attack could trouble RCB’s batsmen.
However, RCB isn’t backing down. Their powerful batting order, led by Kohli and Patidar, will look to challenge KKR’s bowling unit. If they fire on all cylinders, RCB could turn the tables.
