The remainder of IPL 2025 resumes on May 17 with RCB taking on KKR at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. The 18th edition of the cash-studded league took a week-long hiatus because of the tensions between India and Pakistan. The match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals on May 8 was the last game as players were escorted from the ground owing to security issues.
The incident left a mark on players' psychology and most of the overseas stars returned to their home country. Meanwhile, in the latest events, most of the foreign stars are returning to duty, but a few have confirmed that they won't be returning for the remainder of the season.

Notably, the likes of Jofra Archer, Sam Curran, and Jake Fraser-McGurk won't return for rest of IPL 2025. DC have already been handed a blow and now awaits the confirmation of Australia seamer Mitchell Starc.
