The game between the Punjab Kings (PBKS) and the Delhi Capitals was called off midway on Thursday, May 8, after which the decision to temporarily halt the league was made by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

The BCCI had arranged a special train for players as well as support staff of both teams, along with broadcasters and others involved, to travel to New Delhi. Following the same, the players started to disperse.

A look at KL Rahul's fine show for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025

After being released by the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) last year, KL Rahul was acquired by the Delhi Capitals at the IPL 2025 mega auction for ₹14 crore. So far, Rahul has put up a fine performance with the bat for Delhi.

The right-hander is their leading run-scorer this season. Although he missed their opening game due to the birth of his child, Rahul has scored 381 runs from 10 innings at an average of 47.62 and a strike-rate of 142.16, including three half-centuries.

His highest score so far this season was an unbeaten 93, which came against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. Once the tournament resumes, the Capitals would hope for their star player to continue his form, as they will have to fight for a spot in the playoffs.

Fifth in the points table at the moment, Delhi have registered six wins and four losses in 11 games and have 13 points. Regarding their game against Punjab, which was called off midway on May 8, it remains to be seen if the teams will share points or the match will resume or be replayed later on.
