RCB vs KKR 2025 Match Scorecard: No Toss, No Play
Despite moments of hope when the rain paused briefly, match officials were unable to conduct the toss within the cut-off time. As per IPL match regulations, the toss needed to occur by 10:40 PM IST to ensure a minimum 5-over game. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen due to the steady drizzle, and the match was abandoned without a ball being bowled.
Weather Update: Bengaluru Showers Wash Out the Game

IPL 2025 Standings Update: What This Means for Playoff Race
RCB now sits at 17 points with one game left.
KKR, with this no-result, cannot qualify for the IPL 2025 playoffs.
RCB will need one of Punjab Kings (PBKS) or Delhi Capitals (DC) to lose their remaining match to secure a playoff spot.
If PBKS and DC both win, and Mumbai Indians (MI) also reach 18 points, Net Run Rate (NRR) will decide the final qualification.

RCB fans came out in huge numbers, not just for the clash against KKR, but also to celebrate and pay tribute to Virat Kohli, who recently announced his retirement from Test cricket. Despite the rain, chants of “Kohli! Kohli!” echoed across the stadium, highlighting the deep connection between the fans and the RCB icon.
