IPL 2025 Suspended: A Look Back at the Season Highlights So Far

As of today, the IPL 2025 has been officially suspended for one week due to the ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan. This decision, though difficult, has been taken in the interest of safety for players, staff, and spectators.

At OCB, we support measures that prioritise people’s wellbeing and safety. We know many of our users, who are passionate cricket followers and bettors, will have questions, concerns, and uncertainty about what’s next.  

IPL 2025 Paused - Here’s Where Things Stand 

For now, all IPL matches and related predictions are on hold. You can read more about the situation in this BBC Sport report. 

We’re hopeful and remain positive that this is a temporary interruption, and that action with resume safely soon. In the meantime, we want to reflect on what’s already been a competitive and exciting IPL season. 

The Best of IPL 2025 So Far 

Despite the pause, IPL 2025 has already delivered plenty of moments that remind us why this tournament means so much to fans around the world. From nail-biting finishes to breakout performances, the quality and passion have been evident from the first ball. 

Rajasthan Royals seems to have uncovered an absolute prodigy in Vaibhav Suryavanshi, while the Gujarat Titans impressed with an unstoppable top-3 and sharp match tactics. We've seen several young players step up, notably, Priyansh Araya’s fearless batting, Ayush Mhatre’s six-hitting for CSK, and Urvil Goel’s rapid rise. 

What’s struck me most this season is how many teams are genuinely in contention. The gap between the top and bottom is narrower than ever. It speaks to how competitive and well-matched the league has become. 

Even in just a few weeks, IPL 2025 has delivered the kind of cricket that draws millions to the game; and it’s that energy we look forward to seeing return. 

Tipster Picks: Our Favourite Matches So Far 

While we wait for the action to resume, our tipsters took a moment to look back at the IPL predictions and matches that stood out most. These games weren’t just thrilling, they also aligned with some of our most accurate predictions. 

Archana: LSG vs DC (Match #4) 

“This was a tight game that came down to the final over — the kind of match that defines the IPL. DC looked down and out before two uncapped Indians, Vipraj Nigam and Ashutosh Sharma, had the game of their lives and won their team a thriller!” 

- Archana, OCB Cricket Strategist

Chirag: RR vs GT (Match #47) 

“Watching a 14-year old absolutely destroy a world-class bowling lineup on his way to a 35-ball century has to be a lifetime memory for a cricket fan! No one will forget this match because of how vaibhav Suryavnashi announced himself to the world and helped RR chase down 210 in just 15.5 overs.”

- Chirag Naiknavare, OCB Cricket Insider 

Jonhenry: DC vs RR (Match #32) 

“The only match of IPL 2025 that ended in Super Over. It had everything. Mitchell Starc bowling pinpoint yorkers, brilliant batting from Yashasvi Jaiswal, and plenty of heart-stopping moments that had fans jumping out of their seats ” 

- Jonhenry Wilson, OCB Cricket Tipster
