The decision to cancel the match with immediate effect came after Indian interceptors thwarted multiple attacks from Pakistan targeted at civilian regions across the Line of Control and in districts like Chandigarh, Jammu, Jaislamerr and select others. Following the attack, the light at the stadium was turned off, as standard protocol and the match was halted for the safety of players, attendees and match organisers. Earlier, the match between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians on May 11 was shifted from Dharamshala to Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium. In a recent development, all matches of the Indian Premier League have been suspended  “with immediate effect for one week," confirmed the BCCI.
