"Jis tarah se manage kiya woh bohot accha tha" - DC spinner thanks BCCI and Indian Railways for special train following IPL 2025 suspension [Watch]

Delhi Capitals (DC) spinner Kuldeep Yadav thanked the BCCI and Indian Railways for arranging a special train following the suspension of the IPL 2025. The T20 league has been suspended for a week, with the decision coming on Friday, May 9.

Players from DC and PBKS who were in Dharamsala for their match on May 8 were evacuated and sent to New Delhi. The BCCI arranged a special Vande Bharat train on short notice. It ensured that not just the players from both teams but also support staff, commentators, production crew members, and other staff involved reached New Delhi safely.

In a video posted by IPL on X (Twitter), Kuldeep Yadav expressed gratitude to the BCCI and Indian Railways for this arrangement.

"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)," he said.

PBKS and DC game called off midway

After a slight rain in Dharamsala that had delayed the start of the match between PBKS and DC, Punjab won the toss and opted to bat first. Their openers had gotten them off to a blazing start, adding 122 runs on the board in 10.1 overs.

Prabhsimran Singh was unbeaten on 50 off 28 balls while Priyansh Arya was dismissed for 70 off 34 balls. Just as Captain Shreyas Iyer walked in, the game was halted and eventually called off.

"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 as the decision to suspend the IPL 2025 season for a week came in.

It remains unclear whether Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals will be awarded a point each or the game will be played again.
