Big decision taken for security reasons

BCCI took this decision during the match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals on 8 May in Dharamshala, when air red sirens started ringing in the nearby Pathankot city. After this, the match had to be stopped in between. In view of the security reasons, the board decided to stop the IPL for a week.

How many matches are left?

So far, 58 matches of IPL 2025 have been completed. There are 16 matches left in the tournament, including the playoffs and finals (on 25 May). However, given the situation, it is not clear when the tournament will start again.

Uncertainty about future

BCCI has not released any new schedule so far and has set any date to resume the tournament. Fans and franchises are now fearing long breaks as national security is the biggest priority at this time.
