IPL 2025: BCCI waits for government advice, ready with Plan B
The unprecedented blackout on the western front Thursday cast a long shadow on the Indian Premier League.
Around 9.35 pm, the match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in Dharamsala, about 90 km from Pathankot which saw aerial attacks from across the border, was called off after 10.1 overs. Then, the BCCI went into a huddle to decide the future of the tournament.
“We are monitoring the situation, seeking the Government’s advice, and will take the final decision on the IPL tomorrow. The situation is changing day by day. We will do whatever we are told and inform all stakeholders. At the moment, our priority is the safety of all players, fans and stakeholders,” BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla told The Indian Express.
