Rain washed out the RCB vs KKR match in Bengaluru, ending KKR’s playoff hopes and pushing RCB to the top of the table.

The match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) ended without a ball being bowled due to persistent rain. The match, which was scheduled as the 58th game of the IPL 2025 season, took place at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

Points Shared After Washout

After repeated inspections, the umpires finally called off the game. Despite hopes for a shortened match, the rain never stopped. As a result, both teams received one point each.

RCB Benefit, KKR Knocked Out
