After their match against RCB was called off without a ball being played on Saturday, May 17, the KKR were knocked out of the running for the Indian Premier League playoffs. The reigning champions were now the fourth team to be ousted from the playoffs, behind the Rajasthan Royals, Chennai Super Kings, and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
After 13 games, KKR has 12 points as a result of this outcome. Only 21 overs could be played in the previous game between KKR and Punjab Kings at home before it was called off owing to bad weather. That match was played prior to the recently finished match. The team captained by Ajinkya Rahane has had a memorable season. In every department, they have continually fallen short of being clinical enough.
Speaking of where KKR missed the plot in the 2025 Indian Premier League, they may have fallen short in a number of areas this season. It was evident that there was a deficiency of an experienced international pacer. When the team really needed the batting lineup to step up, they didn’t. Nobody ever actually became an expert at their craft by rearranging the batters’ positions a lot. They wasted a handful of games that were in their court.
On Sunday, May 25, KKR will play SRH in their final league match at Arun Jaitley Stadium. Their goal would be to end things on a positive note. This time around, the change in captaincy and backstage personnel did not appear to be beneficial. KKR may have profited from a number of variables. The outcome might have been entirely different as a result of this.
Regarding RCB, their postseason spot is still up in the air. However, if either DC or PBKS lose their games on Sunday, May 18, they will be eliminated. RCB is in first place with 17 points after the game was cancelled due to the continuous rain.
