Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the airport. (Figure: x) New Delhi: On May 8, when the headlights left in Dharamsale, and the match suddenly stopped, Arvinder Singh Negi, Logistics and travel operations in Delhi Capitals, said, “Not again!” Come! ”The stadium lights went out in 11th place due to the security situation in Pathankot, about 90 km from Dharamsala.Go beyond the border with our YouTube channel. Subscribe!Panic gripped the players from both teams on the excavation and the faces of the family members of the players and supporting employees were in the stalls. Negius’s mind immediately returned to 2020 when he supervised travel operations for the cricket control board in India (BCCI). The first ODI between India and South Africa was washed out without turning the ball, and what followed a day later is something that is compared to the Night in Dharamsale.

“The global situation was uncertain.“It was a unique situation, but everything continued smoothly. What happened on May 8 was absolute chaos,” he adds.
IPL 2025 suspended: What happens next?
Mayhem took over when the delay left, but for the negi & what was not the time to panic, but to ensure safety and an immediate action plan.“No one knew what to do at first. First, he was planned to take the team to Una. Then someone suggested that the players would take pathankot for security, but in this region there were news about drone attacks. We couldn’t take the players back to the Team Hotel. “The idea was hovering to take players to Jalandhar along the road, which was dangerous because it is a downhill ride from Dharamsala. FortunatelyFor Vikram Hastir, Pandjab Kings team manager, it was just another day in the office.“During the IPL we always have an active plan A, Plan B and Plan C. The players have been quickly evacuated,” says Timesofindia.com from Jaipur, where Kings Pandjab will play Rajasthan Royals on Sunday.Hastir, however, repeated Negi’s sentiment about Dharamsaly as a venue.“And Dharamshala, I will tell you, is a logistics nightmare. It’s good for fans, players and media to cover, play or watch the game with the beautiful Dhaladhar series as a background. But it’s definitely not a holiday destination for us.”“I manage a contingent of approximately 100 people. No larger aircraft can land there. The aircraft have a limited freight capacity and cannot carry many luggage. So the luggage must go on the surface.

Despite all the challenges and hiccups, Hastir claimed that his team was ready to face them because he did so for years. The only time to lose lively is when the bag remains for someone’s set.“Last year we traveled to Bengalur and we placed Shikhara Dhawan (Captain Pandjab Kings). I laughed well in Bengalur, but when one of my team members violated news, but you know we are people; we are humans; we are human; people;Each team goes differently in terms of logistics, but non -heroes continue to work overtime to ensure that players, support staff and families move cities easily.In most cases, the luggage arrives at the destination the day before the match. Player sets are sent directly from the stadium to the airport. As soon as players get to the hotel, the “bag” message is shared in the WhatsApp group. Players usually fly the day after the match with flights that were suspected of late afternoon or evening.While most teams prefer a commercial flight, Gujarat Titani prefer to travel on charters. “The goal is to make players comfortable. We only travel from our first season on charter flights. It costs more, but offers significant comfort,” says Colonel Arvinder Singh, COO (COO) from Gujarat Titans, Timesofindia.com.

“But Kudos to the operating team; it’s not easy. He still has to ensure that everything is in time. Players don’t even have to think about their socks,” he adds.The cricket could be played on 22 yards, but they are logistics staff who are in the most true sense of the hero for more than two months in the IPL.“We are IPL.
