The Indian Premier League 2025 Revised Schedule

IPL 2025 is going to restart from 17th May. BCCI has released the schedule for the remaining 17 matches of the tournament late on Monday night. RCB and KKR will start the tournament once again on 17th May. The final match of the tournament will be played on 3rd June. The remaining matches of the tournament, which were suspended for a week on 9th May due to cross-border tension between India and Pakistan, will be played in Bengaluru, Jaipur, Delhi, Lucknow, Mumbai, and Ahmedabad. The playoff venues will be announced later. According to the Revised IPL 2025 schedule, after the league matches, the playoff games will be played from 29th May. Qualifier 1 will be played on 29th May, Eliminator on 30th May, Qualifier 2 on 1st June, and the final match will be played on 3rd June.

Fans are very excited for the remaining 17 matches of the tournament. Let us tell you that one match will be played every day, but a double header will be seen on Sunday. The revised schedule includes 13 league games and four playoff matches. The Punjab Kings (PBKS) vs Delhi Capitals (DC) match, which was called off midway through the first innings on May 8 in Dharamsala, will be replayed on May 24 in Jaipur, which will be PBKS' temporary home ground. Two days later, PBKS will play against Mumbai Indians (MI), a match they were originally scheduled to play on May 11, at their second home ground of Dharamsala.

The new IPL schedule will now clash with some international series, prominent among them being the one between England and West Indies starting in Birmingham on May 29. In such a situation, West Indies' Romario Shepherd (RCB), Shamar Joseph (LSG), and Sherfane Rutherford (GT) may return home, who have been selected in the West Indies ODI squad. England are yet to announce their squad, but the players who are likely to be affected are Jos Buttler (GT), Phil Salt (RCB), Jacob Bethell (RCB), Liam Livingstone (RCB), Will Jacks (MI) and Reece Topley (MI), depending on which team reaches the playoffs.

The revised IPL schedule also reduces the gap between the IPL final and the WTC final to just seven days. Players currently part of IPL teams and likely to be selected for the WTC final include Australia captain Pat Cummins and Travis Head (both SRH), Mitchell Starc and Tristan Stubbs (both DC), Josh Hazlewood (RCB), Marco Jansen and Josh Inglis (both PBKS), Aiden Markram (LSG), Kagiso Rabada (GT), Ryan Rickelton (MI), and Kwena Mphaka (RR).

At the moment, the biggest challenge for the 10 IPL franchises will be to reassemble their squads for the upcoming cricket matches of the Indian Premier League 2025. Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Gujarat Titans were looking like favourites before the suspension of the IPL. But can they maintain their winning streak in upcoming matches, or will any other team break their momentum? It will be very interesting to see.
