Nothing is beyond the matter of safety for all people in India. The stance of the Central Government of India is cleared as soon as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) decides to suspend the IPL 2025 amid the clashing of weapons between the forces of India and Pakistan.

After the termination of the Punjab Kings vs. Delhi Capitals match in Dharamshala on May 8, BCCI put a red light on the entire season of IPL 2025. Cricketer lovers and sports personalities are welcoming the decision and thanked the Indian army for ensuring the safety of all. After the announcement of BCCI, star Indian cricketer Virat Kohli expressed his gratitude towards the Indian Army through his Instagram story.

Kohli wrote in his Instagram story, "We stand in solidarity with and salute our armed forces for fiercely protecting our country in these difficult times. We are forever indebted to our heroes for their unwavering bravery and heartfelt gratitude for the sacrifices they and their families make for our great nation. Jai Hind."
