Due to Indo-Pak tension, the tournament is currently postponed for 1 week.
The 18th season of the released IPL has been adjourned for a week on 9 May, Friday due to the ongoing tension between India and Pakistan. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has given information about this through official press release.
It is worth noting that on May 8, the match being played between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in Dharamshala on May 8, due to the attack on many cities and military bases in India on 8 May, had to be stopped in the middle.
On the other hand, now a big statement of IPL chairman Arun Dhumal has come out amidst a week’s adjournment of the tournament. Dhumal says that we were considering the tournament completely suspended.

Dhumal further said- We were first considering the tournament completely suspended. At the moment, we were discussing with all stakeholders and suspension for a week, assessing the situation and then taking a final decision was considered appropriate.
Dhumal further said about the Indo-Pak war- see, as you know, the whole country focuses on winning this war and we want to show our solidarity with our armed forces and our government.
