On June 3, the IPL 2025 final will take place in Ahmedabad. It will honor the Indian Armed Forces, paying tribute to Operation Sindoor and the victims of the terror attack.
The organizers have scheduled the IPL 2025 final for June 3 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The event will honor the Indian Armed Forces as a tribute to Operation Sindoor. This recent military operation responded to the terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. The attack claimed the lives of 26 civilians.
The Board Control for Cricket in India or BCCI and IPL Governing Council have decided to use the platform of the tournament’s finale to honor the armed forces and pay homage to the victims of the tragic incident.
Confirming the development to IANS, Arun Dhumal, IPL Chairman said that they have invited all three services chiefs of the Indian Armed Forces to attend the IPL final on June 3 in Ahmedabad. The theme is to honor their heroes of Operation Sindoor.
The BCCI has officially extended invitations for the high-profile finale. They invited the CDS (Chief of Defence Staff), COAS (Chief of Army Staff), Chief of Naval Staff, and Chief of Air Staff.
Following the Pahalgam attack, authorities suspended the IPL 2025 season for a week in early May. The decision came amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan. Military action across the Line of Control and in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir caused a quick stop to cricketing action.
The tournament resumed with a revised schedule once both nations announced a ceasefire deal. As a result, the organizers pushed the final, initially planned for May 26, to June 3. They are now playing the remaining matches across six designated venues.
