Let us tell you that due to tension between India and Pakistan, the BCCI had decided to postpone the IPL for a week. After this, the board decided to resume the current session of the Indian Premier League (IPL) from May 17 at six places on Monday, in which the final will be held on June 3 as per the revised program. On May 8, the IPL was stopped after the match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals was stopped when Pakistan tried to infiltrate the Indian airspace near Chandigarh, which led to a blackout in the stadium.
The board said in a statement, “The BCCI is happy to declare the Tata IPL 2025 resumed. After extensive consultations with the government and security agencies and all the major stakeholders, the board has decided to move forward with the remaining session.”
The first match will be between the Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings in Bengaluru on 17 May when the league resumed. According to the revised program, there will be six places for the league matches, Bengaluru, Jaipur, Delhi, Lucknow, Ahmedabad and Mumbai. Places for playoff matches will be announced later.
