Last Updated: Cricket
The crucial IPL 2025 clash between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Punjab Kings ended in disappointment as rain forced the match to be abandoned, with both teams sharing a point each. As a result, KKR remain in seventh place with seven points from nine games, while Punjab Kings climbed to fourth with 11 points. In the race for the playoffs, teams typically need at least 16 points — equivalent to eight wins — to secure qualification. With only three wins and five losses so far, KKR now face a steep challenge. The defending champions must win all five of their remaining matches to keep their playoff hopes alive.
