The IPL 2025 match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals was abruptly called off in Dharamsala on May 8 following escalating cross-border attacks from Pakistan. The match was halted at 10.1 overs with PBKS at 122/1 after floodlights failed. Initially believed to be a technical issue, the blackout led to mass evacuation of players, officials, and spectators as a security precaution. The BCCI confirmed the match’s abandonment and arranged a special train from Una to Delhi for safe transport. BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia emphasized that player and public safety is paramount, and further IPL decisions will be based on evolving threats. (PC: AP)
