RCB cricket director Bobabat said he originally thought that the IPL 2025 season would be released for a considerable time, because he did not expect that cross -border tension between India and Pakistan would soon be resolved. IPL 2025 was suspended for a week after Game in Dharamshale between PBKS and DC has been dismissed.
RCB was supposed to play LSG 9 May and players returned to their hotel after training when the news of Dharamshala came.
“Yes, quite chaotic. He tried to stay quite calm and tried to get as much information from BCCi and try to communicate with clarity,” Bobab said.
“It was a pretty busy evening. We practiced the day before the game Lucknow. And then, actually on the bus on the way back, many boys watched the game on their phones, the game Pandjab vs Delhi.”
“And then we saw the headlights came out and the players came out of the field. We weren’t too sure what was happening, and only when we returned to the hotel did we get the right feeling of what’s going on.”
RCB director said that evening that he hears many rumors and learned The next day the league was suspended for a week.
“So a lot of rumors, a lot of chat that evening, and the next morning we found out that our game hadn’t occurred and the competition was suspended for some time. Our initial impression was that the competition would be dismissed for some time. You don’t expect such a conflict to be resolved.”
Bobat said they wanted to send the players home because there was a good chance for them to get a break. He said that he and head coach Andy Flower sat with foreign players and asked them about their preferences to undertake to return as soon as the league restarted.
“We wanted to send the players home because in fact (that was) a good chance of break. So for Indian players it’s relatively simple.”
“With overseas players, me and (head coach) Andy (Flower) put them and talked to them and said,” Look what your preference is? “And many of them said,” Look that we would like to go home because it is a period of uncertainty, but it has been very determined, and if we have to return, we will return, “Bobabat said.
RCB will arrange its campaign on May 17 against KKR, When IPL will develop after the break.
