New Delhi: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will be up against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 58th clash of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday. After a break of seven days, the IPL 2025 returns, and how the stars have aligned as the tournament is resuming with the same clash that kickstarted it all nearly two months back.
It will be a return fixture for the two teams, which earlier locked horns on March 22 in Kolkata, and RCB turned out to be the winner, claiming the match by seven wickets.
