The much-anticipated IPL clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) scheduled for May 17, 2025, at M Chinnaswamy Stadium was called off without a single delivery due to relentless rainfall. Fans clung to hope for a break in the weather, but the evening ended in disappointment with not even the toss taking place.

Acknowledging the fans’ inconvenience, RCB has confirmed a complete reimbursement for all legitimate ticket holders as per their refund policy for abandoned matches.

Those who had booked e-tickets online will automatically receive the full amount in their original payment method within 10 business days. In case the refund doesn’t reflect by May 31, fans are advised to reach out via [email protected] with their booking references to seek resolution.

Meanwhile, buyers of physical tickets must return the original hard copy at the designated ticket outlet to initiate the refund process. RCB has made it clear that missing physical tickets will not qualify for a refund under any circumstances.

For any other queries or guidance, supporters can write to [email protected].

While the match was a washout, RCB’s swift and clear communication regarding refunds has been widely appreciated, bringing some consolation to disheartened supporters.

Fans are urged to retain all ticketing proofs and act promptly to avoid delays.
