In a major update that has taken the cricket world by surprise, IPL 2025 has been officially suspended for one week due to rising tensions between India and Pakistan. The announcement came directly from BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia, who confirmed that the decision was made “in the interest of safety and security” after consulting all stakeholders, including franchises, sponsors, and broadcasters.
At Spontasy, we understand how this impacts fantasy players who rely on our Dream11 team predictions , and fantasy cricket insights. Here’s everything you need to know.
Why Was IPL 2025 Suspended?
The decision follows escalating cross-border tensions that raised serious logistical and security concerns. The IPL Governing Council, along with franchise representatives and senior BCCI officials, agreed that suspending the league was the responsible move.
Just a day earlier, the PBKS vs DC match was abandoned mid-game due to security disruptions in Dharamsala. With airports shut and travel routes compromised, players had to be evacuated through alternate means.
IPL 2025 Restart Watch: Who’s Leading the Playoff Battle?
With IPL 2025 currently on a one-week break due to rising India-Pakistan tensions, fans and fantasy cricket players alike are eager to know where teams stand in the race to the playoffs. Let’s take a detailed look at the current points table, the top four contenders, and the teams still in the hunt for a playoff berth.
Gujarat Titans, RCB, and PBKS are leading the race with 16 points each. MI and DC follow closely with 14 points. KKR and LSG are still in contention, while SRH, RR, and CSK are officially out of the playoff race.
What Happens If the IPL Doesn’t Resume Soon?
If the security situation doesn’t improve quickly, the next available window to finish IPL 2025 may only open in September, post India’s Test series in England.
