Fri Apr 18 14:40:00 UTC 2025: ## IPL Celebrates 18th Anniversary, Rain Derails Bengaluru Match; Kejriwal’s Daughter Weds

**Bengaluru, April 18:** The Indian Premier League (IPL) marked its 18th anniversary today, but celebrations were dampened by inclement weather. Rain in Bengaluru forced the postponement of the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS), the 34th game of IPL 2025. The match was unable to start on time, and with the cutoff time for a reduced-overs match passed, the impact on the points table became significant.

A washout would result in a 1-point gain for each team. This would significantly shake up the standings, pushing Bangalore to second place and Punjab to third, both with 9 points. This would displace Gujarat Titans (GT), currently tied with both teams at 8 points, to fourth place. GT’s hopes for a top-2 finish hinge on their upcoming match against Delhi Capitals on April 19th. Currently, Delhi Capitals leads with 10 points.

Separately, in Delhi, Harshita Kejriwal, daughter of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief and former Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, married Sambhav Jain in a lavish ceremony at a five-star hotel. The wedding followed a pre-wedding ceremony attended by Kejriwal, his wife, and Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann and his wife.
