🌦️ KKR vs RCB, IPL 2025 Opener: Kolkata Weather Plays Hide & Seek!

Good news, cricket fans! The sun is FINALLY shining over Eden Gardens today, just hours before the blockbuster IPL 2025 opener between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bengaluru! After days of rain chaos, the skies have cleared (for now), and fans are breathing a sigh of relief. But… will it last?

Rain Drama Unfolds!

• Friday’s Washout: Heavy rain canceled practice sessions yesterday, leaving players stuck indoors. 🌧️
• Orange Alert: The IMD issued a serious warning for thunderstorms and rain in South Bengal (including Kolkata) from Thursday to Sunday.
• Today’s Alert: It’s Orange Alert for March 22 (match day!) and Yellow Alert for Sunday. Translation: Rain could CRASH the party anytime!

Right Now at Eden Gardens…

☀️ Sunny Smiles: Current live images show clear skies! The outfield is drying, and the pitch is getting ready for action.
🌩️ But Stay Alert: Dark clouds might return! The IMD still predicts thunderstorms later. Will the IPL’s rain gods play nice?

What’s at Stake?

• KKR wants a fiery start at their home fortress.
• RCB is desperate to shake off their “trophy-less” tag.
• Fans: Already sold out Eden Gardens! Will rain ruin their fun?

What If It Rains?

• A reserve day is in place (Sunday, under Yellow Alert). But no one wants a delay!
• Duckworth-Lewis could steal the spotlight if showers interrupt play.

Players vs Weather: Who Wins?

Virat Kohli’s bat vs thunderstorms. Andre Russell’s sixes vs soggy outfields. Sunil Narine’s spin vs slippery balls. Let the weather vs cricket battle begin!
