After the IPL 2025 match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in Dharamsala was called off, several reports claimed that players present in the hill town of Himachal Pradesh will leave for Delhi or any other city via train.

The Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals IPL 2025 match in Dharamsala was witness to a never-before-seen scene as it got called off after blackout in the city. The official reason given by the IPL 2025 broadcasters was 'technical failure' but later on IPL chairman Arun Dhumal told news agency IANS: “Yes, the match has been called off as a precautionary step, because there are some incidents which happened in Jammu, I believe. That's what we got to know, so we thought it's wise to call off the game.”
The Indian Premier League (IPL) was on Friday suspended indefinitely due to the escalating military confrontation between India and Pakistan with a BCCI official saying that continuing the event in the current situation would not look appropriate. A cloud of uncertainty had loomed over the future of the ongoing edition since the cancellation of Thursday's match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in Dharamsala midway following air raid alerts in neighbouring cities of Jammu and Pathankot. "It does not look nice that cricket goes on while the country is at war," a BCCI official told PTI, confirming the suspension of the high-profile league, which was to wind up on May 25 in Kolkata as per the original schedule.
NEW DELHI: The Pakistan Super League (PSL) will move its remaining matches to the United Arab Emirates in the wake of Pakistan’s ongoing conflict with India, the country’s cricket board chief Mohsin Naqvi said on Friday. Thursday’s PSL match in Rawalpindi was postponed amid escalating hostilities between the nuclear-armed neighbors, and Naqvi said the decision to move the last eight games was made to ensure players avoid “possible reckless targeting.” Across the border, India’s cricket board is considering suspending the Indian Premier League (IPL) amid the rising tensions, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Friday. IPL organizers have said they are awaiting government advice before determining the fate of the remainder of the hugely popular Twenty20 tournament. “The PCB has always stood by the position that politics and sports need to be kept apart,” Naqvi, also Pakistan’s interior minister, said in a statement. “As a responsible organization that has overcome adversities repeatedly and ensured that the game of cricket flourishes, it was important for us to ensure the mental well-being of all players participating in the PSL.” India’s cricket board (BCCI) has moved Sunday’s IPL match in Dharamsala near the Pakistan border to Ahmedabad in the west. A match at the same venue in the northern city was abandoned midway due to what officials said was a power failure. Vice president Rajeev Shukla said they were waiting for government advice on Friday. “The situation is changing day by day,” Shukla told the Indian Express newspaper. “We will do whatever we are told and inform all stakeholders.
The IPL 2025 on Thursday was witness to an unprecedented scene as the match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh, was called off despite no natural hindrances like rain. The official word from the broadcasters of the IPL 2025 was 'significant technical failure' after the floodlights stopped working and the spectators were evacuated. Punjab Kings were 122 for 1 in 10.1 overs when lights went out in the quaint hill town, attributed to floodlight failure at first. The game had started later than scheduled due to rain before the city went dark for some time. The teams and the assembled fans were eventually evacuated from the stadium for their security. The picturesque ground can accommodate approximately 23,000 spectators and it was packed to about 80 per cent of its capacity at the time of evacuation.
The PCB on Friday decided to shift the remaining matches of its Pakistan Super League to the UAE because of the ongoing military confrontation with India which has left the event's foreign players anxious. The PCB (Pakistan Cricket Board) said early this morning that the last eight fixtures, which were previously scheduled in Rawalpindi, Multan and Lahore, will now be staged in the UAE. Schedule of matches, outlining the dates and venues, will be shared in due course, a statement said.
The IPL jamboree was brought to a screeching halt in Dharamsala on Thursday by air raid alerts in neighbouring cities, forcing the league's administrators to pause and review the "evolving" and escalating military confrontation between India and Pakistan that threatens to derail the current season. The match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals was cancelled midway following air raid alerts in Jammu and Pathankot, putting the entire league at risk of being called off.
