The suspended part of the IPL 2025 is set to resume from May 17, following a week-long break due to recent military tensions between India and Pakistan. The tournament was halted last Thursday citing security concerns but is now ready to resume after extensive discussions between the BCCI, government, and security agencies.
Key Changes in the Resumed IPL 2025 Schedule:
No matches will be held in Chennai, Hyderabad, Dharamshala, or Kolkata.
Matches will now take place across six new venues: Bengaluru, Jaipur, Delhi, Lucknow, Mumbai, and Ahmedabad.
Punjab Kings will play their remaining two home games in Jaipur.
Kolkata Knight Riders have no league games left, hence no fixtures in Kolkata.
The Delhi vs Punjab match, which was suspended on May 8 during the first innings in Dharmashala, has been rescheduled to May 24 and will now be played in Jaipur.
The tournament will feature 17 matches in total post-resumption, including key playoff games. The BCCI will announce the playoff venues separately, though the dates are now finalized.
