KKR Vs RCB 2025 LIVE | IPL 2025 | Virat Kohli Vs Sunil Narine | Kolkata Vs Bengaluru Score | N18L Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru, IPL 2025 Live Score: The IPL turns 18 and the occasion demands a blockbuster opening. What better than two opponents who got things underway all those years back in 2008? Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bengaluru will kickstart the IPL 2025 at the Eden Gardens tonight. Both teams underwent changes thanks to IPL 2025 mega auction. Indian batter Shreyas Iyer, who led KKR to the 2024 IPL title, is no longer with the Shah Rukh Khan-owned franchise. He was not retained ahead of the mega auction, following which he joined PBKS for Rs 26.75 crore. On the other hand, RCB will also have a new captain in the form of Rajat Patidar, who succeeded Faf du Plessis. Like every other season, RCB will once again have high hopes from Virat Kohli, who is the league’s leading run scorer. The right-handed batter is all set to play his 400th T20 match today, and there will be high expectations from him. In addition to Kohli, RCB will bank on the experience of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood in the bowling. For KKR, the spin duo of Varun Chakaravarthy and Sunil Narine is the biggest team, and they are in red-hot form these days as well.
