This comes less than 15 hours after the match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Captials in Dharamsala was called off midway after a series off projectiles from Pakistan and a subsequent blackout in bordering states. The BCCI top brass met on Friday morning and the final decision was made.
On Thursday night, Arun Dhumal, the IPL Governing Council chair, had told this daily that they are assessing the situation. BCCI vice-president, Rajiv Shukla, had said: "Today there were security concerns in Jammu and Pathankot, which were close to Dharamsala, that is why we called off the match. Tomorrow we don't know what will happen, based on that we will take a decision. We are arranging a special train tomorrow (Friday) for everyone to leave safely.”
