“Precautionary Step Because…”: IPL Chairman Breaks Silence On PBKS vs DC Match In Dharamshala Being Called Off

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match between the Kings of Punjab and the Capitals of Delhi was canceled Thursday at the HPCA stadium as a precaution, said the president of the IPL, Arun Dhumal, at the IANS. As the game is canceled, which was reported by the stadium projectors, PBKS was 122/1 in 10.1 Overs. “Yes, the match was canceled as a precautionary stage, because there are incidents that occurred in Jammu, I think. This is what we learned, so we thought it was wise to cancel the game,” Dhumal in Ians of Dharamshala said.

This agency understands that the fans and the two teams began to be evacuated from the HPCA stadium by the tournament and the local authorities for security reasons. Development occurred after Jammu had a complete power failure, with reports of civilians of missile sequences in the sky and drone attacks that occur from Pakistan.

A complete electricity failure was observed in Baramulla and Pathankot, while Chandigarh was also reported for a full failure. In the match that started after an hour late, Prabhsimran Singh (50 not out) and Priyansh Arya (70) shared an opening stand of 122 points.

By choosing to beat first, Arya was out of the brand of the word that struck Mitchell Starc for consecutive limits. On the other side, Prabhsimran Singh faced Starc by hitting it for three limits, before Arya strikes Chameera for four and two. Despite the introduction of Axar Patel into the fifth, there was no respite for DC when PBKS ended the power game at 69/0.

After that, Arya continued his attacker style by launching Axar for six, before reaching his fifty balls. Despite the introduction of Madhav Tiwari, there was no pbks stop because they reached their hundred in 8.5 overs.

Arya then put forward in her attacker instincts by launching Kuldeep for six consecutive, before Prabhsimran hit him for four and reaches his fourth consecutive bullets, while PBKS reached 122/0 halfway.

DC finally broke the 122-point partnership when Arya sought Hoick off T. Natarajan, but the upper edge was captured by the short man. Immediately after that, the players left the field before the next balloon was upset due to a failure of the stadium light, before the match was ultimately canceled.
