Amid escalating India-Pakistan military tensions, the BCCI has suspended IPL 2025, following a mid-way match stoppage in Dharamsala due to air raid alerts in nearby Jammu and Pathankot. Indian cricketers, including Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Rohit Sharma, and Suryakumar Yadav, took to social media to salute the Indian Armed Forces for neutralizing Pakistan’s drone and missile attacks. Kohli called their actions a symbol of “unwavering bravery,” while Bumrah and Surya expressed gratitude and pride. The decision halts the tournament with crucial playoff spots undecided. The BCCI is in talks with the government to assess future scheduling and player safety. (PC: AP)
