IPL 2025 suspended for only 1 week? Some say too soon to resume, others dream of RCB lifting the trophy

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC) in Dharamshala was called off after just 10.1 overs in the first innings. While broadcasters cited a "significant technical failure" at the HPCA Stadium as the reason, IPL Chairman Arun Dhumal later clarified that the decision was a "precautionary measure" in light of escalating tensions between India and Pakistan.

Following the incident, the IPL governing council announced a temporary suspension of the tournament. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed the move, stating the suspension would last for one week. However, with the geopolitical situation still volatile, many fans have questioned whether a one-week break will be sufficient.

Though the suspension is currently set for a week, future decisions will hinge on how the geopolitical tensions evolve and whether player concerns are addressed. While many fans are questioning if one week is enough, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) supporters remain hopeful.

Their team has been in red-hot form this season, currently sitting second on the table with 8 wins, 3 losses, and 16 points from 11 games.

While much depends on how tensions between India and Pakistan unfold, the BCCI is closely monitoring the situation and weighing several contingency plans. These include rescheduling the tournament after the monsoon, relocating matches to the UAE or South Africa, or moving games to safer cities within India.
