KKR Playoff Chances: KKR out of the playoff race, RCB became the first team to make place

New Delhi. The Indian Premier League 2025 was adjourned from Dabara on 17 May. This match was important in many ways. One, Virat Kohli was about to take the field for the first time after his retirement from the Test, on the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders had the last chance to stay in the playoffs. The match was washed away due to rain and fans of both teams were shocked. The fans who came to give a special salute to Virat got disappointment and all the dreams of the fans of Kolkata’s team also broke.

Saturday’s match after washing due to rain, this is the question in everyone’s mind, is KKR IPL 2025 out of the playoff race? So the answer is yes. Kolkata Knight Riders have been officially dropped from the playoff race. On 17 May, his match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) was canceled due to rain. This result gave both teams one point each, but RCB became the first team to reach the playoffs with 17 points, while KKR’s expectations were over.

Can there be a miracle now?

The Kolkata Knight Riders team now has only one match left. After playing 13 matches, the team has 12 points from 5 wins, 6 necklaces and 2 uninteresting matches. Kolkata can reach 14 points even after winning its last match. Can KKR still reach IPL 2025 playoffs? So the answer is not… even a big win cannot deliver them to the top four because their net run rate (NRR) is also less.

RCB (17 points), GT (16 digits), PBKS (15 points) and Mi (14 points) are already ahead and they have a chance to increase their digits. Even though all the other teams lose all their matches, KKR mathematically can not leave four teams behind, which means that KKR is out of IPL 2025.

Is all KKR’s expectations finished

For the Kolkata team, the match was done or dying against RCB, but the rain spoiled the whole game. The cancellation of RCB and KKR’s match ended their playoff expectations. After losing the win against Chennai Super Kings, his luck was always on a thread and now it is official KKR IPL will not play in 2025 playoffs.

Which teams are still in the race?

RCB has become the first team to make a place in the playoffs in the Indian Premier League 2025. After playing 12 matches, he has 17 points from 8 wins, 3 necklaces and 1 uninteresting match. Gujarat Titans, ranked second in the points table, have 8 wins and 16 points from 3 defeats in 11 matches. With winning a match, the team will make it to the playoffs.
