He mentioned that they are waiting for the government’s directive. Any decisions taken regarding India-Pakistan tensions following Operation Sindoor will be strictly followed.
The BCCI is currently holding emergency meetings with the IPL Governing Council to decide the tournament’s next steps. Dhumal emphasized that the safety of players and fans is the top priority, and all logistical factors are under review.
Punjab vs Delhi Match Incident Raised Alarms
The panic surrounding the Lucknow vs RCB match began after the Punjab vs Delhi match was abruptly canceled during the 12th over of Punjab’s chase.
Punjab had scored 122 runs in 10.1 overs, chasing Delhi’s target of 178, when a suspected drone was spotted near the India-Pakistan border, 50 km from Dharamshala.
In response, floodlights were turned off, players were rushed off the field, and over 25,000 spectators evacuated the stadium. The incident was serious enough that both teams were awarded one point, but it sparked a major security review.
BCCI Enhances Security at Ekana Stadium
In response to the Dharamshala incident, BCCI has ramped up security measures for the Lucknow vs RCB match. Police presence has been significantly increased at the Ekana Stadium, and mock drills are underway.
Dhumal also hinted that future matches might be relocated to cities like Mumbai or Bangalore if necessary. Some foreign players are even considering early exits, prompting BCCI to prioritize safety above all.
Playoff Scenario Impacted by Match Uncertainty
The uncertainty around the Lucknow vs RCB match could have major implications for the playoff race. RCB currently has 16 points from 11 matches and is in a strong position to qualify.
Lucknow, on the other hand, has 10 points from 11 matches and only a 0.7% chance of making it to the playoffs.
If today’s match gets canceled, both teams will get one point. While RCB would stay in contention, Lucknow’s slim hopes of qualifying would officially end.
