That's it. It never looked like that the match could start and it didn't. The drizzle continued and the Umpires, after one look at the conditions have decided to call the match off. That is the end of the road for KKR in IPL 2025 as they can reach a maximum of 14 points. Meanwhile, RCB has to wait a little longer to secure their qualification.

Not the most inspiring visuals out there. Kolkata Knight Riders will be dreaded the more as with this their hopes of any qualification chances into the IPL 2025 play-off will come to an end. Royal Challengers Bengaluru will also be disappointed to miss a point in such a tight race.

The rain has picked up again and stayed heavy. Things are not looking good for the fans as of now. We have started to lose overs and it continues as the waiting game continues. Things look gloom as of now.

Well, the good news and hopes were short lived and the rain has picked up again and the drizzle has gotten heavier. So there is no chance of the covers getting removed anytime soon. 

17 May, 20:36 (IST)

Well, well. Hopeful news for the fans as the rain has slowed down a lot and it is almost a slight drizzle now. The umpires are out on the field inspecting and groundstaff are ready working on the conditions so that they can prepare the ground for some action. 

17 May, 20:18 (IST)

The intensity of the rain has slowed down to some extent and the heavy rain is now a steady drizzle. Although it has definitely not stopped and covers are still in place. Fans find some of their voice and the chants of 'RCB, RCB' can be heard. 

17 May, 20:04 (IST)

There is no improvement in the conditions as of now. No new update. It is still raining and the covers are firmly in place. Kolkata Knight Riders have shared a video where they have prayed for the rain to go away. 

17 May, 19:49 (IST)

There was hopeful signs in the middle when the rain's intensity was reduced and it looked like it might stop and the groundstaff can remove the covers and prepare the outfield. But it has picked up once again and the waiting game continues. We will start losing overs from 8:45 PM Indian Standard Time (IST). Nearly an hour to go. 

17 May, 19:18 (IST)

Although the intensity of the rain has reduced, it is still steady enough to keep the covers in place. There is no movement as of yet and the rain keeps coming down. Fans keep waiting for some action. 

17 May, 19:03 (IST)

The toss has been delayed as anticipated earlier. Rain keeps coming down hard and there is only hope that it will stop after some time and the groundstaff will do enough to prepare the ground for some action. Things doesn't look good as of now.
