MUMBAI: The 2025 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has been anything but ordinary. With five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and 2024 finalists Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) already eliminated, the tournament faced an unexpected hurdle when escalating India-Pakistan tensions led to a brief pause. The BCCI temporarily suspended the league for a week, leading to a revised schedule for the remaining 17 matches.

As per the updated itinerary, the league stage will now conclude on May 27, with the grand finale slated for June 3. However, this adjusted schedule poses potential clashes with international fixtures, including England’s tour of the West Indies starting May 29 and the World Test Championship final beginning June 11.
Here’s a look at the revised full squads:
