The much-anticipated IPL 2025 match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium was abandoned due to persistent rain, with not a single ball bowled or toss conducted. This outcome officially eliminates KKR from playoff contention.

Fans had gathered in large numbers, many donning white jerseys to pay tribute to Virat Kohli's illustrious Test career. However, the weather had other plans, leading to disappointment among the spectators.

With the match abandoned, both teams were awarded one point each. This result leaves KKR with a total of 12 points from 13 matches, making it mathematically impossible for them to qualify for the playoffs. RCB, on the other hand, moves to 17 points from 12 matches, keeping their playoff hopes alive. However, the washout denies them a crucial opportunity to solidify their position in the top four.
