The BCCI announced on Monday that the IPL season will resume from May 17 across six venues, with the final scheduled for June 3 under the revised timetable. The tournament had been suspended on May 8 after the match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals was called off due to Pakistan attempting to breach Indian airspace near Chandigarh, which caused a blackout at the stadium.
Following a ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan, board officials opted for a swift restart of the league.
