KKR vs RCB In The Last Season:

The two sides kickstarted the eighteenth of the IPL by taking on each other in Match No. 1 of IPL 2025. RCB invited KKR to bat first and immediately applied pressure with the ball. Newly anointed KKR skipper Ajinkya Rahane took off after the slow start and made a quickfire fifty with support from Sunil Narine. But, once the two were separated, RCB found a way in with Krunal Pandya's three-wicket haul putting on the brakes. RCB bowled magnificently to give away just 67 runs in the last ten overs and 29 in the last five as KKR could only muster 175 after putting 107 in the first 10. RCB were on the attack immediately with Phil Salt taking the charge against his former team. The ever-dependable Virat Kohli complimented Salt's quickfire fifty with a sedate one of his own as RCB chased down the target with more than three and a half overs to spare.
