IPL 2025 LIVE Updates: The fate of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 hangs in the balance amid escalating tensions between Indian and Pakistan. As Pakistan attacked multiple Indian cities on Thursday night, including Jammu and Jaisalmer, the match between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Dharamsala was called off midway.
The Indian Air Defence System successfully thwarted all the danger on Thursday night as Pakistan reportedly launched over 50 missiles and drones across Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab and Rajasthan. There are also reports that India has launched its own counter-attack in Islamabad, Karachi, Sialkot and Lahore.
The rising tensions have cast a shadow on the remaining IPL 2025 matches while PBKS and DC players remain stuck in Dharamsala due to the closure of the airport. The big decision on the future of the remaining IPL 2035 matches could come today (Friday, 9 May).
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) face Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Friday’s IPL 2025 match on Friday and while the major venues are considered safe, there’s growing sentiment among fans that the tournament should be halted for now as our armed forces engage with Pakistan.
So far, the official stand of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is that any decision on suspending the IPL 2025 will be taken after the government’s advice.
“We are reviewing the situation right now. It is an evolving situation. We haven’t received any directive from the government. Obviously the decision will be taken keeping all the logistics in mind,” IPL chairman Arun Dhumal said on Thursday.
