Delhi: The first match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is to be played between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on 22 March at Eden Gardens on 22 March. Before this match, New Zealand veteran batsman and Kane Williamson believes that his friend and RCB veteran Virat Kohli will have a big impact in this season. Williamson says that even though Kohli has made some changes in his batting, his hard work and passion remains the same as before.
