IPL 2025 Resumes from May 17 After Suspension Due to India-Pakistan Tensions

The remaining matches of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 will resume from May 17 (Jestha 3), and the final will be held on June 3 (Jestha 20).

The league was suspended after the match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in Dharamshala was stopped midway due to a reported attack from Pakistan on Indian soil. On Monday, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) released a revised schedule for the remaining games.

Key Points:

• The first match after the restart will be Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Kolkata Knight Riders on May 17 in Bengaluru.
• The last league match will be between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bengaluru on May 27 in Lucknow.
• Matches will be played across six cities: Bengaluru, Jaipur, Delhi, Lucknow, Mumbai, and Ahmedabad.
• Jaipur, which was earlier expected to be excluded, is now included among the host cities.
• Playoff venues will be announced later.
• Two double-headers (two matches in a day) are scheduled, both on Sundays.

In a press release, BCCI said:

“We are pleased to resume TATA IPL 2025. After detailed discussions with the government, security agencies, and all stakeholders, we have decided to continue the remaining matches.”

The IPL committee added:

“A total of 17 matches will be played at 6 venues, starting May 17 and ending with the final on June 3. Double-header matches are scheduled on Sundays.”
