Is RCB Still in the Race for the IPL 2025 Playoffs?
The heavy rain not only washed out the RCB vs KKR match but also effectively ended Kolkata Knight Riders’ chances of making it to the IPL 2025 playoffs. With just 12 points from 13 games, KKR can reach a maximum of 14—even with a win in their final match—making qualification highly unlikely.
On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have climbed to the top of the points table. They now need just one more victory to comfortably secure a spot in the playoffs.
RCB’s upcoming fixtures include matches against Sunrisers Hyderabad on May 23 and Lucknow Super Giants on May 27. As the playoff battle intensifies, teams are also aiming for a top-two finish, which provides a strategic edge in the knockout stage.
While RCB appears well-placed, fans are left disheartened—especially those hoping to see a final home appearance from Virat Kohli, as the rain-affected match denied them that farewell moment.
