Weather department’s alert increased concern
This match between KKR and RCB is to be played at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Fans are very crazy about this match. Kolkata fans may want to see the team making a winning start on the home ground, but Virat Kohli’s craze will also be seen in the match. Amidst all these things, the weather department’s alert has created concern among the fans.
Will the KKR-RCB match be washed out by rain?
According to the Meteorological Department, there is a possibility of rain in Kolkata on Saturday. Even an orange alert has been issued on March 22. According to the Meteorological Department, there is a 74 percent chance of rain in Kolkata on Saturday, while it is predicted to be cloudy throughout the day. There is a 90 percent chance of rain by evening. If it rains, the first match of IPL 2025 may be disrupted. It is difficult to say anything about whether the match between KKR and RCB will be able to result. At the same time, the opening ceremony is also to be held in the evening, but if it rains, it may also be disrupted.
There is also talk of rescheduling a match to be held in Kolkata. Actually, KKR is scheduled to face Lucknow Super Giants at Eden Gardens on April 6, but it may be shifted to Guwahati because Kolkata Police has expressed its inability to provide security citing Ram Navami celebrations in the city. This information was given by Bengal Cricket Association (CAB) President Snehasish Ganguly himself, quoting news agency PTI.
