The IPL authorities called off the IPL 2025 game between PBKS and DC in Dharamsala. The officials communicated that the reason was the floodlight failure in the stadium due to a power outage in the area. However, some other reports are claiming that the match has been called off due to the cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan.
Meanwhile, the chairman of the Indian Premier League, Arun Dhumal, was seen requesting the fans to leave the stadium after the game was called off. He was also looking quite panicked while asking fans to evacuate the stadium.
The video of Arun Dhumal asking fans to leave the stadium also went viral on social media as soon as it was shared by a user on X (formerly Twitter).

BCCI to decide on the continuation of IPL 2025
In the same line of events, the upcoming Punjab Kings vs Mumbai Indians has been shifted to Ahmedabad from Dharamsala. The game was scheduled to be played at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala on Sunday, May 11. The shifting of the game was confirmed by Gujarat Cricket Association’s secretary Anil Patel.
“Yes, the match between MI and PBKS will now be played in Ahmedabad,” Patel was quoted as saying by the Times of India.
There is also an uncertainty over the continuation of the ongoing IPL 2025 amidst the escalating cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan.
