The continuation of IPL 2025 is under serious review following escalating tensions between India and Pakistan. IPL chairman Arun Dhumal confirmed that the BCCI is awaiting a government directive before making a final decision. A Punjab Kings vs. Delhi Capitals match in Dharamsala was abandoned midway after air raid alerts in nearby Jammu and Pathankot triggered a security evacuation. The stadium, nearly 80% full, was safely cleared without panic. As the conflict intensifies, uncertainty looms over the upcoming Lucknow Super Giants vs. Royal Challengers Bengaluru match. “It’s an evolving situation,” said Dhumal, emphasizing the priority of stakeholders' safety.
