After a week-long suspension due to India-Pakistan hostilities, the IPL 2025 will resume on May 17, with the final now scheduled for June 3. The BCCI announced a revised schedule featuring six venues—Bengaluru, Delhi, Jaipur, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, and Mumbai. Play-offs venues remain undecided. The Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals match, halted mid-way on May 8, will now be played in Jaipur on May 24. The league avoids border-proximate cities like Dharamsala, Hyderabad, and Kolkata. Two double-headers are planned on May 18 and 25. Concerns remain about overseas player availability, particularly Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood due to injury and WTC commitments. (PC: AP)
