IPL Match Abandoned in Dharamsala Over Security Fears

The IPL 2025 match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals at Dharamsala was abandoned after 10.1 overs due to security concerns following intercepted Pakistani drone and missile attacks amid escalating India-Pakistan tensions. Floodlights went out, prompting the evacuation of the stadium as a precaution, and both teams were safely removed from the venue. The match had already faced a rain delay, with PBKS scoring 122 runs before play was halted. The Board of Control for Cricket in India subsequently moved the upcoming PBKS vs Mumbai Indians match to Ahmedabad, as the local airport remained closed after India's 'Operation Sindoor' against terrorist sites in Pakistan. Patriotic tributes to Indian armed forces marked the start of the evening, reflecting heightened security awareness. Despite the abrupt end, the situation was managed calmly and no injuries were reported.
