The Match No. 58 of the Indian Premier League 2025 between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals has been called off due a technical concern, following a floodlights’ failure. Exact details on the matter are currently awaited, but the fans have been asked to vacate HPCA Stadium, Dharamshala – the venue for this game.
Dharamshala, one of the most picturesque venues in the country, could not witness a full game happen on Thursday, and both the Board of Control for Cricket in India released an apology stating its regret on the trouble caused to all the in-stadium attendees for the game. The points for the game, however, have not been shared so far, since the game is likely to be rescheduled at a later date.
Though the official word from the organizers confirms a technical failure, Rajeev Shukla, the board vice president appeared on media, and his statement hints at a possible safety concern.
“We are organising a special train from close to Dharamshala to bring everybody home safely. As of now the match has been called off and the stadium has been evacuated. We will take a call on the tournament’s future depending on the situation tomorrow. As of now, players’ safety is utmost important. The match couldn’t have continued tonight because of the situation. It wasn’t safe,” Shukla said as per The Times of India.
