IPL 2025 Kicks Off in Style
The IPL 2025 opening match between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) is just getting underway at Eden Gardens. RCB captain Rajat Patidar won the toss and elected to bowl first against the defending champions, KKR, led by Ajinkya Rahane.
The toss was delayed due to a grand opening ceremony featuring KKR owner Shah Rukh Khan, Disha Patani, and Shreya Ghoshal, who lit up the stage. The festivities even saw stars like Virat Kohli and Rinku Singh joining in for a dance, with Kohli receiving a special felicitation for his remarkable feat of playing all 18 IPL seasons with RCB.
Despite earlier concerns about rain and an orange alert in Kolkata, the weather has cleared up, and the forecast suggests no interruptions for the match.
With the toss now complete and RCB opting to field, the game is set to begin shortly. KKR will look to start their title defense on a high, while RCB aims to break their recent losing streak against KKR at this venue. Stay tuned for live updates as the action unfolds!
