IPL Resumes With RCB v KKR Face-Off; Kohli's Outing In Focus
Kashmir Observer
|MAY 17, 2025 ISSUE
Brought to a halt by the recent India-Pakistan border tensions, the IPL will resume on Saturday with Royal Challengers Bengaluru taking on Kolkata Knight Riders in a high-stakes contest where the spotlight will firmly be on Virat Kohli following his recent Test retirement.
The unexpected 10-day break has left both the RCB and the KKR with different goals to achieve and common challenges to hurdle over.
The RCB are second on the table with 16 points from 11 matches, and a win here can propel them to the playoffs.
KKR are sixth on the table with 11 points from 12 games, and a slip-up will evaporate the defending champions’ hopes of making the knockouts.
They are also faced with the challenging task of hitting the pre-break intensity straightaway at the Chinnaswamy stadium.
