Indian Premier League’s (IPL) 18th edition is all set to commence on March 22, 2025, at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. The first match of this season’s IPL is between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). The defending champions, KKR, will be hoping for a cracking start by defeating RCB in their opening match.
In the final of IPL 2024, KKR defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final by 8 wickets, and Shah Rukh Khan’s team lifted their third title. No wonder Kolkata Knight Riders will be hoping to defend their title under the captaincy of iconic Indian batter, Ajinkya Rahane and Vice-Captain, Venkatesh Iyer.
