3 reasons why KKR can win against RCB in 1st game of IPL 2025

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will face the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the first game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. RCB reached Kolkata for their first game while the KKR players had a good time at the practice sessions. This time, KKR will be led by Ajinkya Rahane in the IPL 2025 and for RCB it’s Rajat Patidar. 

So, both teams will play under different captains in the same game, so the contest will be interesting to watch for the fans. The teams have a good set of match-winners, but KKR will have an upper edge on RCB.

Here are the three reasons why KKR can beat RCB: 

1. Better record against RCB

KKR have a better record against RCB without any doubt. Both teams have played 34 matches but KKR have won 20 games out of them. KKR have even once bowled out RCB for 49 runs, which is the lowest total in the tournament until now. KKR vs RCB is also one of the greatest rivalries in the IPL.

2. Home ground advantage

KKR will have the home advantage as the match will be played at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. They also have a better spin attack, hence they will be able to utilise them in the first game if the pitch favours them. Also, KKR will get most of the support in the stadium as well. 

3. Better bowling attack than RCB

KKR have a deadly bowling attack with the likes of Varun Chakaravarthy, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell and many more. On the other hand, RCB have Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, and Yash Dayal. This is a good attack as well but KKR have better in-form bowlers.
