The IPL 2025 game between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals, which took place at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala, was marred by a war-type situation between India and Pakistan. The game was called off in between as massive panic arose there.
The players of Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings, along with the support staff, were also taken back to their respective hotels. After that, there was a special train for both teams to bring them to Delhi as the flight operation was suspended.
"It was a surreal experience. All of a sudden a couple of the light towers went out and we were just sitting there up the top waiting… we’re a large group of family and extra support staff and the next minute the guy who wrangles the group of us and gets us on the bus came up and his face was white," Healy said on The Willow Talk Podcast.
Faf du Plessis didn’t even have shoes on - Alyssa Healy
Alyssa Healy said that the situation was such that Faf du Plessis didn’t even have shoes on. She narrated how she asked Mitchell Starc what was going on and the pacer told him about the missile attack. While calling the entire event madness, she said:
"We ended up going southwest towards the (Pakistan) border, which was a little bit terrifying. Mitch and I have played too much Call of Duty and we’re noticing all surface-to-missile sites that were just sitting there ready to go. They’re radar-operated systems that shoot missiles at aircraft. We saw a few of them on the way through in some small towns. Some peanut down in the village decides it’s a great idea to set off some fireworks in the middle of the day."
There was anxiety and terrified at the same time - Alyssa Healy
"I think everyone at lunch froze, turned around and was like, ‘oh my God!’ And then I could pinpoint, I could see the fireworks going up. I hope it was a wedding and I hope they have a beautiful marriage but that was just not good timing. There was anxiety and terrified at the same time, but I still feel like we would have been OK. We weren’t right in the firing line."
