The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 has been suspended indefinitely due to escalating military tensions between India and Pakistan. The decision follows the abrupt abandonment of the Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals match in Dharamsala, where floodlights failed amid air raid alerts, leading to panic and evacuation. BCCI sources emphasized player safety and national interest as primary reasons for the suspension. The crisis stems from India's missile strikes on terror hubs in Pakistan after the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians. Subsequent Pakistani attacks on Indian cities intensified the conflict, prompting heightened security across northern India and disrupting IPL logistics. The tournament's resumption remains uncertain. (PC: Hindustan)
