Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will face Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the IPL 2025 on Saturday, May 17 at 7:30 PM IST. The game will be played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. There is a possibility of rain during the evening, but if not heavy, the stadium's good drainage should enable the game to be played, even if it is a truncated encounter. Virat Kohli took to the field during RCB's training session on the eve of the game and appeared unhappy with the party-like atmosphere created by the loud song in an empty stadium and requested to turn it off. Kohli, who officially announced his retirement from Test cricket few days back, is likely to receive a warm tribute from the fans on Saturday. RCB supporters will turn out in white on match day. RCB is already in second position, and a victory at this home game will see them reach the playoffs. Skipper Patidar along with other overseas stars, have arrived back for the remainder of the season, which is a massive boost for the franchise. Kolkata Knight Riders has not had a good season. Unlike the previous year when they took the title, this year has been problematic. They have not managed to win consecutive matches until late April. Their season is on the verge of collapse, and even if they win their next two matches, it might not be sufficient. KKR supporters, who are normally very enthusiastic, have had a disappointing season. However, they have clinical record against RCB at Chinnaswamy and this would act as a morale booster for them in this game. The rivalry has seen plenty of memorable matches where numerous records have been broken and created. This match also promises a similar kind of entertainment. Royal Challengers Bengaluru eyes the top spot, while Kolkata Knight Riders aim a win to stay in contention. Let's have a look at the stats and milestones that have been created in the past and which can be created in this game.
