With tensions rising between India and Pakistan, even cricket was affected, as the Indian Premier League came to a sudden stop last night in Dharamshala.

Rohit Urges Citizens to Stay Calm and Avoid Misinformation

Emergency measures were put in place across many areas, including Dharamshala, where the IPL 2025 match between PBKS and DC was halted after 10.2 overs. This was due to a power outage following air raid alerts in nearby cities like Jammu and Pathankot.

The safety of players and fans is now the top priority, and the blackout has raised doubts about the rest of the IPL 2025 season.

Reports suggest that the BCCI may think about changing the schedule of the ongoing 18th season of the Indian Premier League if security risks grow across the country.

“We are reviewing the situation right now. It is an evolving situation. We haven’t received any directive from the government. The decision will be taken keeping all the logistics in mind,” said IPL chief Arun Dhumal to PTI.
