The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) confirmed the safe return of its players and its support staff to Bengaluru on Saturday, adding that all left for their respective residences. RCB was supposed to play their IPL 2025 match against Lucknow’s Super Giants (LSG) at the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium on Friday evening. But the game did not occur while the BCCI stopped the 2025 IPL for a week due to increasing cross -border tensions between India and Pakistan.
“Our players and the extended staff have returned safely to Bengaluru and are now confined to the house in their respective cities and countries. We are deeply grateful for the rapid coordination and support of the BCCI, the local authorities and the police that made this possible,” said the franchise in its publications on social media with photos of Virat Kohli, Yash Dayal and Josh and Josh and Josh Hazlewood.
Previously Friday, a special train Vande Bharat brought the players of Punjab Kings (PBKS) and the Capitals of Delhi (DC) and the members of the support staff, as well as the leaders of the match, commentators, distribution crew members, operations staff and other key staff, safely in New Delhi de Dharamshala.
The IPL 2025 match between PBKS and DC was canceled after only 10.1 Overs of play during the first rounds at the HPCA stadium in Dharamshala, air strikes and Pakistan drones causing breakdowns in Jammu, Pathankot and Udhampur, which are all held near the hill station.
As soon as the game was canceled by players and members of the support staff of the two teams, as well as other staff working around the game in Dharamshala, returned to their respective hotels safely under tight security.
Dharamshala being an area of non-theft, like the other cities in northern India, the BCCI and Indian railways assured that everyone struck in Dharamshala would go to Jalandhar on buses and get on their train for New Delhi. Friday evening, all those who arrived in New Delhi head to their homes in the respective cities in India and abroad.
