IPL 2025 Expected To Finish In The Given Timeframe

Certain reports have mentioned that the BCCI have informed all the IPL franchises to be ready and regroup. Given that most of the overseas stars have already reached their homeland, the teams would have to make special amends to convince and call them back. Several players from India have also returned home. The BCCI intends to restart the season from May 16 and host more doubleheaders to finish the tournament on the given dates.

At this stage 16 matches remaining on its earlier schedule - 12 of them are league stage matches while four are playoff games. It is yet to be seen when would the BCCI and IPL shared the updated schedule.
