NEW DELHI: Following consultations with the government, security agencies, and all relevant stakeholders, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has confirmed that the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 will resume from May 17, with matches scheduled across six venues.
The season will restart at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, where Royal Challengers Bengaluru will take on Kolkata Knight Riders. The league had been suspended for a week after escalating cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan, during which Pakistani missile and drone attacks were successfully intercepted by Indian forces.
