The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has arranged a special Vande Bharat train for players, commentators, support staff, cameramen, crew and everyone else involved in the Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals match in Dharamshala. The match had to be called off due to safety concerns, leaving them stranded. However, the BCCI had assured everyone involved when they called off the match that they’d transport them out of Dharamshala safely.
DC & PBKS players out of Dharamshala
Earlier today, the BCCI also halted the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 for one week. They have also decided to send everyone back home, whether they are from India or abroad. Just moments ago, the IPL uploaded the video where Kuldeep Yadav can be heard thanking the Indian Railways and BCCI for their departure from Dharamshala. However, within moments, the video was deleted from social media.
