KKR vs PBKS<\/strong>:<\/a> Rain interrupted the action between\u00a0Kolkata Knight Riders\u00a0(KKR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match on Saturday, April 26. The game was being played at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KKR vs PBKS<\/strong>: Batting first, PBKS had posted a total of 201\/4 on the board from their 20 overs. They were propelled by fiery knocks from openers\u00a0Priyansh Arya\u00a0and Prabhsimran Singh. Priyansh scored 69 off 35 while Prabhsimran made 83 off 49 balls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KKR vs PBKS<\/strong>: KKR were only one over into the chase, at 7\/0 after an over, when it began to pour down with strong winds. While covers were brought on to cover the ground, the ground staff found it difficult to control the big sheets, given the amount of wind around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KKR vs PBKS<\/strong>: Some covers even flew into the stands due to the heavy winds at one point. Below are the pictures of it, posted by a user on X (Twitter) –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KKR vs PBKS<\/strong>: Gurbaz and\u00a0Sunil Narine\u00a0were the two batters out in the middle for KKR, who had to walk off along with the other players and umpires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KKR vs PBKS<\/strong>: KKR and PBKS share a point as game gets called off<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It appeared that play would resume at one point with a few players doing some warm-ups and taking throwdowns. However, the rain was back at the Eden Gardens and was there to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, it continued to pour down, and eventually, the game had to be called off with no further hope of any play being possible. As a result, both sides shared a point each, with no result coming from the game.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both teams would be disappointed, with KKR being more upset about not getting a full game in particular. With just three wins and six points before the start of this match, they were desperate for a win to keep their qualification hopes alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kolkata now have seven points and are placed seventh on the table. Meanwhile, PBKS would have fancied themselves to win this game, but moved into the top four. However, they now have five wins and 11 points. They remain behind Gujarat Titans, Delhi Capitals, and\u00a0Royal Challengers Bengaluru, who all have 12 points each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
