In a blatant contradiction with the Bangaluru al -Soudi path, the defense heroes witnessed that their defense of the title would be officially ending with the result of the washing. The individual point that was added to its total leaves them at a price of 11 points from 13 games, and even victory in the final league match against SRH will not take them to only 14 points, which is much lower than the pieces required to get a separate match. The KKR 2025 campaign, which was characterized by contradiction and lost opportunities, has not gained great momentum. Despite the brilliance flashes in individual offers, the team failed to link enough victories to challenge the best competitors. The long -awaited result is symbolic near its dull campaign, which confirms an unprecedented season to the level of expectations after winning the title 2024. With no pride in playing for the final picnic, KKR will look forward to rebuilding for the next season.

Here’s how the fans’ reaction was:

It is unfortunate to end like this Kkrides. They had moments that they could seize, but they could not collect everything together.

A disappointing end for this season to defend the KKR champions. We hope to wear again the strongest next year.
RCB, you have a ‘Q’ invisible before them – it’s about to appear at any time, depending on the results of other matching.
