Delhi Capitals spinner Kuldeep Yadav thanked the BCCI and Indian Railways for arranging a special train after the suspension of the IPL 2025. However, IPL has been suspended for a week, with the decision coming on Friday, May 9 as well. Players from DC and PBKS who were in Dharamsala for their match on May 8 were sent to New Delhi as well. However, the BCCI arranged a special Vande Bharat train on short notice and all the players from both teams, alongside support staff, commentators, production crew members, and other staff involved, reached New Delhi safely as well.

In a video posted by IPL on X (Twitter), Kuldeep Yadav shared, “Team members bohot hai, staff bohot hai, BCCI ke kafi log camera man se leke jitne bhi technical log jude hai isme, pura crew bada tha. Jis tarah se manage kiya woh bohot accha tha. Mai ek baar firse thank you bolna chahta hu BCCI plus Indian Railways ko (There were many team members, staff, BCCI people including camera man and all technical people involved, the whlo crew was big. The way they managed it was very good. I would like to once again thank BCCI plus Indian Railways).”

Thank you, @RailMinIndia, for arranging a special Vande Bharat train on such short notice to ferry the players, support staff, commentators, production crew members, and operations staff to New Delhi.

We deeply appreciate your swift response. 🙌🏽@AshwiniVaishnaw | @JayShah |… pic.twitter.com/tUwzc5nGWD

However, the IPL 2025 suspension of a week came after the game between PBKS and DC was called off on Thursday, May 8. After a slight rain in Dharamsala that had delayed the game, Punjab won the toss and opted to bat first. Their openers got off to a flying start, adding 122 runs on the board in 10.1 overs as well where Prabhsimran Singh was unbeaten on 50 off 28 balls and Priyansh Arya smashed 70 off 34 balls.

“The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided to suspend the remainder of the ongoing TATA IPL 2025 with immediate effect for one week. Further updates regarding the new schedule and venues of the tournament will be announced in due course after a comprehensive assessment of the situation in consultation with relevant authorities and stakeholders,” an official statement said.
