May 07,2025: IPL 2025: India has avenged the terrorist attack in Pahalgam. The Indian Army has destroyed nine terrorist hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) and named this operation “Operation Sindoor”. Now people are curious whether the IPL match will be held today? Will India’s retaliation have any effect on IPL 2025 and the match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings to be held today? Or will it be postponed? However, confirmation has come from BCCI that IPL will continue as usual. This question is also coming up because IPL 2025 has now reached a crucial juncture. The playoff race has now become interesting. Each match is having a great impact on the points table. Chennai’s team may have been out of the playoff race, but Kolkata is still in this race.
No update from BCCI at the moment
KKR has 11 points with five wins and five losses in 11 matches. One match was inconclusive. At the same time, their net run rate is +0.249. A defeat or cancellation of the match can affect their qualification. It is important for KKR to win every match from here on. A source in the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) told ANI on Wednesday that the current circumstances will not have any effect on the IPL scheduling and matches and it will be held as per the scheduled program.
However, some media reports have also reported that a mock drill is also to be held today, in which Indian citizens will be told about the ways to avoid an unplanned attack. It is likely to start at 4 pm. The blackout drill can be conducted at 7.30 pm. However, the BCCI has confirmed that the match will start at its regular time.
Not IPL, PSL matches can definitely be postponed
Along with IPL, Pakistan Super League is also going on in the neighboring country. There may not be any effect on IPL, but India’s retaliation can definitely affect Pakistan Super League. Emergency has also been imposed in many areas of Pakistan. Also, many international airports have been closed. There is an atmosphere of chaos in the neighboring country. In such a situation, the matches of Pakistan Super League can definitely be postponed.
