IPL 2025: Match 58, RCB vs KKR Toss & Match Prediction – Who will win toss and today IPL match?

The 58th match of IPL 2025 is between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Kolkata Knight Riders and will take place at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on May 17. Both teams want to improve their prospects of making the playoffs as the league season draws to a close.

RCB is presently in second place after winning eight of their last eleven games. Virat Kohli's calm 62-run innings helped them defeat the Chennai Super Kings by 2 runs in their last game. Both the batting unit and the bowling unit are working at their best to get good results for the team's successful run. 

On the other hand, KKR is now ranked sixth in the points table, with five wins in twelve games, and their playoff chances have faded slightly. One of the biggest problems for KKR has been the batting line-up. Both openers are yet to give the team an ideal start, and Ajinkya Rahane looks to be the lone warrior in the team.

In their most recent game, Rahane scored 48 runs, but it was not enough to get a win as CSK defeated KKR by 2 wickets. However, Rinku Singh and Andre Russell need to step up more often and support the middle order.

Kolkata Knight Riders have a high probability of winning the match if RCB gets first batting. With the wicket supporting batters, the team can chase down the total with ease. However, in other circumstances RCB also get a chance to win the game if KKR bats first. Mainly, Chinnaswamy Stadium is a batting-friendly wicket, and defending a score on the ground is a big task for any team.

Star batter for RCB, Virat Kohli, is in great form. Opening the batting attack, Virat gives the team a good and controlled start. In 11s, the right-handed batter scored 505 runs with an average of 63.13. Currently, Virat stands in fourth place in the race for Orange Cap. He also smashed seven half-centuries in the ongoing season. Before the IPL was suspended, Virat scored 51 runs against DC. As the IPL resumes again, he will look to keep the same form.
