IPL 2025 LIVE Updates: Amid rising military tension between India and Pakistan, the future of India’s premier T20 cricket tournament, IPL 2025, is uncertain. Reports this morning have claimed that the BCCI are considering suspending the tournament, after Thursday’s match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in Dharamshala was abandoned midway, following air attacks from Pakistan on some Indian cities. Players from that match are set to be evacuated via a special train by the BCCI. The IPL is still provisionally on, but government directives are being awaited ahead of today’s match in Lucknow between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, where Virat Kohli is set to play.
