IPL is on as of now : Chairman Arun Dhumal

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season remains ongoing despite escalating tensions between India and Pakistan. IPL Chairman Arun Dhumal confirmed that, as of now, the tournament continues as scheduled, though the situation is being closely monitored. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is awaiting directives from the government before making any decisions regarding the league's future.
This announcement follows the abrupt suspension of the match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in Dharamsala on May 8, which was called off after 10.1 overs due to what was initially described as a "significant technical failure." Subsequent reports indicated that air raid alerts in nearby cities of Jammu and Pathankot prompted the evacuation of the stadium as a precautionary measure.
Regarding upcoming fixtures, Dhumal stated that the match between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, scheduled for May 9, is set to proceed as planned. However, he emphasized that the situation is evolving, and any changes will be made with the safety and best interests of all stakeholders in mind.
In light of the current circumstances, the BCCI has convened emergency meetings to assess the situation and is coordinating with relevant authorities to ensure the safety of players, staff, and fans. The league's continuation will depend on further developments and government advisories.
