The ongoing Indian Premier League 2025 has been suspended for one week amidst rising cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan. The authorities will announce the new schedule of the tournament in the next couple of days after assessing the entire situation and consulting the related government authorities.
The 58th game of the tournament between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in Dharamsala was called off midway due to tensions in the nearby districts and areas. However, the fans enjoyed the action of the tournament until it was suspended midway due to unforeseen circumstances.
