The match in Dharmsala was always under a security cloud given the aftermath of Operation Sindoor. The May 11 game was relocated, but Thursday’s game was given go go-ahead. Punjab Kings batted first after a rain delay. However, at the half way mark, the floodlights at the HPCA Stadium were turned off due to malfunction.
Soon, the match was called off. With the India-Pakistan border conflict escalating, IPL and stadium officials were seen asking the fans to evacuate the stadium. IPL chairman Arun Dhumal himself was at the front, with the fans queueing in numbers to leave the HPCA Stadium.
