BCCI’s Special Arrangement To Evacuate Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals Players From Dharamshala

BCCI’s Special Arrangement To Evacuate Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals Players From Dharamshala

Published by Webster

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) arranged a special Vande Bharat train to transport players from Delhi Capitals (DC), Punjab Kings (PBKS), and the entire broadcast crew from Dharamshala to Delhi. The decision was taken in light of the prevailing situation in the state and the logistical challenges that followed the abrupt cancellation of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 clash between the two sides. According to a Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) source, around 300 people — including players, support staff, and broadcasters — will be boarding the high-speed train to ensure a smooth and secure transit. The development comes on the heels of Thursday night’s unfortunate incident at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium, where the highly anticipated match between PBKS and DC was called off due to a floodlight failure. Pakistan fired eight missiles directed at Satwari, Samba, RS Pura and Arnia and all were intercepted and blocked by air defence units, defence sources said on Thursday. Explosions were heard as Indian air …

Published by Webster

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals has been called off at the HPCA Stadium on Thursday as a precautionary measure, said IPL Chairman Arun Dhumal to IANS. At the time of the game being called off, which was signalled from stadium floodlights being turned off, PBKS were 122/1 in 10.1 overs. “Yes, the match has been called off as a precautionary step, because there are some incidents which happened in Jammu, I believe. That’s what we got to know, so we thought it’s wise to call off the game,” said Dhumal to IANS from Dharamshala. This agency understands that fans and both teams have started to be evacuated from the HPCA stadium by the tournament and local authorities due to security reasons. The development happened after Jammu had a complete blackout, with reports of civilians witnessing missile streaks in the sky and drone attacks happening from Pakistan. A full blackout has been observed in Baramulla and Pathankot, while Chandigarh has also been signalled for a complete …

Desperate Delhi Capitals Face In-Form Punjab Kings In Must-Win IPL Clash

Desperate Delhi Capitals Face In-Form Punjab Kings In Must-Win IPL Clash

Published by Webster

Delhi Capitals will be desperate to arrest their slump and stay in contention for the playoffs when they take on a high-flying Punjab Kings in a crucial IPL match in Dharamsala on Thursday. DC have endured three losses and a no result due to rain in their last five games, and are currently placed fifth on the table with 13 points from 11 matches. The Axar Patel-led side had a disappointing time at home, managing just one win — that too via a Super Over — at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. A team that won its first four matches would have hoped that a change of venue would bring a change in fortune, but DC’s batting unit disintegrated against Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last game in Hyderabad before rain washed out the contest. It was a complete top order collapse as DC lost half their side for 29, and it was only due to the brilliance of Ashutosh Sharma that they managed a respectable 133. DC’s top order has looked vulnerable. Karun Nair’s …
