Delhi: Today, on 22 March 2025, the first match of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) is being played between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Eden Gardens, Kolkata. To guess who will win, depends on many factors, such as the current form of the team, the position of the players, the nature of the pitch and the weather.
There are some things in favor of KKR:
He is the current champion and playing on the home ground, where he has a record of winning 20 out of 34 matches against RCB. The Eden Gardens pitch is usually good for the batsmen, but KKR spinners like Sunil Naren and Varun Chakraborty can take advantage of it. His team has players like Andre Russell and Quinton de Kock, who specializes in overturning the game.
Possibility for RCB:
His batting under the leadership of experienced player and new captain Rajat Patidar like Virat Kohli is strong. If they win the toss and bowl first and get the KKR’s early batsmen out quickly, then they may have a chance. However, his new team may take time to freeze as a unit.
Weather effect: Today there was a possibility of rain in Kolkata, but according to the latest updates, it could be reduced by evening, which is expected to be a complete match.
Our estimate: Given the advantage of domestic conditions for KKR, the previous record and the current team balance, their chances of victory seem a little more, but nothing is certain in cricket – if RCB batting goes on, they can reversed. According to Cricktude, today KKR’s team will win.
