KKR vs RCB Live Score: KKR Restricted To 174/8
Okay, then, after the completion of 20 overs the home side Kolkata Knight Riders have been able to post 174 on the board for the loss of eight wickets. Ajinkya Rahane the skipper was the star of the show with 56 from 30 one deliveries while he was ably supported by Sunil Narine with his fluent 44 after a slow start. They were going extremely well at the halfway mark but lost crickets in a hurry which gave RCB a chance to walk back into the contest as they restricted the Knight Riders to a total which is just under par. Krunal Pandya with three wickets did most of the damage. KKR: 174/8 (20)

This is getting too tough for Kolkata now as they'll have lost their 7th wicket with not even 170 on the board and 7 balls remaining. Angrish Raghuvanshi is the seventh man to depart. Ramandeep is there at the other end and it will now be on upon him to score runs. KKR: 168/7 (18.5)
KKR vs RCB Live Score: Can KKR Breach The 180-run mark?
At one stage they look set to cross the 200 mark but now even 180 looks a distant achievement for the Knight Riders. Angrish Raghuvanshi and Ramandeep Singh is at the crease with two over remaining. KKR: 165/6 (18)
KKR vs RCB Live Score: RCB Call In Impact Player!
Devdutt Padikkal is back in RCB colours and takes the field, replacing Suyash Sharma. Meanwhile, Suyash's spell looks like 1/47 (4).

KKR vs RCB Live Score: Lucky Save Or What?
That was a well directed bouncer by Rasikh Salam but the square leg umpire signals it a wide ball. Tim David was interested in the review for a wide ball. Rajat, who is standing in the deep, asks Jitesh Sharma but RCB opt against the review. Well, well, well. After completing the shot, Narine's bat made contact with the stumps and the bails came off.

KKR vs RCB Live Score: Fantasy Analysis!!
Sunil Narine
The West Indian all-rounder was one of the biggest assets for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL 2024. Sunil Narine contributed with both the bat and the ball in the last edition of the tournament. If he can translate the same form in this tournament, he will be one of the hot picks for this game.
Quinton de Kock
This will be the first season for the South African keeper batter in KKR. Over the years, Quinton de Kock has shown great stability and consistency with the bat and that makes him one of the important picks for the fantasy contests.
Varun Chakaravarthy
The Indian mystery spinner is carrying a brilliant form into this game from the Champions Trophy 2025. Varun Chakravarthy has the momentum and could be a prime choice for the fantasy contests of the game.

KKR vs RCB Live Score: Match Preview!
KKR will be eager to begin their title defense on a high and become only the third team in IPL history to win back-to-back titles. While they will miss the presence of their title-winning skipper Shreyas Iyer, the team has retained its core and looks as formidable as ever. For IPL 2025, experienced campaigner Ajinkya Rahane has been handed the captaincy.
On the other hand, RCB will be looking for a fresh start after falling short in the playoffs last season. Despite a poor start in 2024, they bounced back well to reach the Eliminator. However, their wait for a maiden IPL title continues. In a significant leadership change, RCB have appointed Rajat Patidar as their new captain after parting ways with Faf du Plessis.
