The 58th match of IPL 2025 between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Kolkata Knight Riders at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium features two teams with differing recent trajectories. Royal Challengers Bengaluru's batting lineup is anchored by the in-form Virat Kohli and Phil Salt, while their bowling attack is led by Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Krunal Pandya who have been consistently taking wickets.

On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders rely on captain Ajinkya Rahane's steady batting and Varun Chakaravarthy's economical bowling, with Sunil Narine providing valuable all-round contributions. Bengaluru will host this important clash on May 17 at 7:30 PM IST.
