The IPL 2025 match between PBKS and DC was canceled after only 10.1 games in the first rounds at the HPCA stadium in Dharamshala, due to air strikes and drones from Pakistan causing breakdowns in Jammu, Pathankot and Udhampur, all near the hill station.
As soon as the game was canceled and the spectators were made to leave the stadium calmly, the players and members of the support staff of the two teams, as well as other staff members working around the game in Dharamshala, returned to their respective hotels safely under close security.
Dharamshala being an area of non-theft, like the other cities in northern India, the main concern among the best people in the BCCI was how to make sure that players and other stakeholders are safe from Dharamshala. An end -of -evening dialogue between the senior officials of the BCCI and the Indian railways made them go from Dharamshala to Jalandhar in a bus convoy and aboard their train for New Delhi.

We are deeply enjoying your quick response,” said the post, who was accompanied by a video showing Jalandhar’s trip to New Delhi.
To ensure an absolute secret of the trip of almost 12 hours, all those who are on bus from their respective hotels in Dharamshala were not exactly informed in advance where they would go on the train to go to New Delhi.
Even if someone knew details, he was told to maintain confidentiality under very strict security reasons and refrained from publishing anything on any platform, including on social media platforms, until he reaches New Delhi.
Previously, the IPL 2025 was suspended for a week by the BCCI on Friday afternoon, due to the cross-border tension between India and Pakistan. The tournament had finished 58 games, with 12 games to play in the league scene and followed the playoffs. It remains to be seen how the situation takes place in the coming days, so that the tournament gets a window for the recovery.
