This is not in particular the first edition of IPL which was suspended in mid-season. In 2021, the event was posted in the middle of the COVVI-19 epidemic. The suspension had taken place after several violations of bio-bubbles and an increase in the cases cowled among players and staff in India. The season was taken over and completed in the United Arab Emirates around four months later.
IPL 2025 is not the only event that was suspended during growing tensions between India and Pakistan. In fact, the Pakistan Super League 2025 was also postponed and then moved to the water. However, the calendar of its remaining matches, describing the dates and places, has not yet been shared by the board of directors.
