With the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) back after a one-week halt, teams have to get going again as the business end of the season awaits us. The race for the IPL playoffs is still pretty heated with 7 teams still in contention for the top 4 spots, with just 15 matches left to be played in the league stage.
The Royal Challenger Bengaluru are one of the favorites to make it to the top 4, having undergone a decent run of results which has them at 16 points from 11 games so far. The three remaining games can see them go to 22 points and even clinch the top spot at the end. RCB will be resuming the IPL on May 17 when they take on defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Virat Kohli will also be back in action after he announced his retirement from Test cricket, ending a 14-year career in the Whites for Team India.
