As a result of such a tense situation, yesterday’s IPL match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in Dharamsala was called off midway.

This has resulted within the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) taking the choice to place IPL 2025 on hold for an unspecified time period, reports PTI.
As per PTI, a BCCI official said, “It doesn’t look nice that cricket goes on while the country is at war.” The choice was reportedly taken a number of hours back during an urgent meeting held by the BCCI. Talking about today’s match between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, BCCI chairman Arun Dhumal said, “Yes, it’s on as of now, but obviously it’s an evolving situation and any decision might be taken keeping the most effective interest of all stakeholders in mind.”
