IPL 2025 Schedule: KKR To Face RCB In Season Opener On March 22, CSK vs MI At Chepauk On March 23
Defending Champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will face Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the opening match of the IPL 2025 at the Eden Gardens, according to a report in ESPNcricinfo. On the following day, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will host Mumbai Indians (MI) in a blockbuster clash. The final of the tournament is reportedly scheduled for May 25
The report also revealed that last year’s finalist Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will open their campaign against Rajasthan Royals on March 23 at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad. This will be a day game and will be followed by the CSK vs MI blockbuster.
The marquee event will start on March 21, 12 days after the final of the ICC Champions Trophy. The 10-team event will be played on the ten traditional homes of the franchises as well as Guwahati (second venue for RR) and Dharamsala (second venue for Punjab Kings)
The first game of the tournament will see two new captains lead the teams. RCB recently announced Rajat Patidar as captain for the IPL 2025. KKR is yet to announce their captain following the exit of Shreyas Iyer who was named the captain of Punjab Kings (PBKS). RCB had a decent run last year where they reached the playoffs but suffered a defeat in the Eliminator. Meanwhile, KKR was outstanding in the last season and won the title, defeating SRH in the final
