The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCC) has announced on May 12 that the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 will be resumed from May 17. However, BCCI is yet to finalise the venues where the rest of the matches can be played amid the tensions between India and Pakistan.
The BCCI will be keeping its venues safe amid the ongoing war between the two nations after their last game of DC vs PBKS was abandoned due to safety concerns. Speaking about the same subject, here are the top three venues where BCCI can conduct the rest of the matches, considering the safety of both players and fans.
Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru

The Bengaluru Stadium has already been shortlisted by the BCCI, if rumours are believed to be true. The city has already hosted WPL’s matches in 2024 and 2025 and might host the rest of the IPL matches. This stadium has short boundaries and makes the game a batting-friendly one.
MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai

The Chepauk Stadium is also in talks to be shortlisted. Other stadiums aren’t safe due to a state of tension between the two countries, but Chennai can host the matches. The stadium has already hosted some of the epic encounters, and we might see Chepauk hosting the rest of the matches. This stadium has excellent connectivity, making it ideal for playing for both fans and players amid the ongoing situation.
Ekana Stadium, Lucknow

The Ekana stadium in Lucknow has already hosted some big contests, including the ODI World Cup in India. This is one of the largest stadiums where fans can truly enjoy the game. This stadium is also known for its modern facilities for the players and the fans. In addition, Lucknow’s stadium lies in the centrally located region, which means fans can truly witness the full game amid the ongoing war.
