After India\u2019s major broadcasters pulled out of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025 following the tragic terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, questions are now being raised whether Pakistan will retaliate by banning Indian Premier League (IPL) broadcasts within its territory.<\/p>\n
Sony Sports Network officially ceased PSL coverage in India this week, following similar moves by Fancode and Cricbuzz. The coordinated blackout came in response to the April 22 terror incident that claimed 26 civilian lives, including that of a foreign tourist. The Resistance Front (TRF), reportedly linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned the act as \u201can attack on the soul of India\u201d and vowed that terrorism \u201cwill not go unpunished.\u201d<\/p>\n
While India has responded swiftly by removing PSL from all its major media platforms, Pakistani viewers continue to watch the IPL via Tapmad, a streaming service that still features live matches and updated IPL points tables. On Friday, Tapmad was actively broadcasting the CSK vs SRH clash, despite the diplomatic tensions.<\/p>\n
Some users took to Twitter to question Tapmad\u2019s decision, with posts like \u201cTapmad se IPL khatm kre immediately\u201d and \u201cWhy Tapmad showing IPL?\u201d gaining traction.<\/p>\n
Tonight\u2019s Match: CSK vs SRH<\/strong><\/p>\n The 43rd match of IPL 2025 features Chennai Super Kings taking on Sunrisers Hyderabad at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Both teams have recorded just two wins from eight games and are desperate for a turnaround in what\u2019s now a bottom-table battle.<\/p>\n With India\u2019s PSL blackout setting a strong precedent, it remains to be seen whether Pakistan will reciprocate by removing IPL from its screens\u2014or whether economic factors will take precedence over political optics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After India\u2019s major broadcasters pulled out of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025 following the tragic terror attack in Pahalgam,\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":42518,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[3801],"class_list":["post-22252","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ipl","tag-ipl"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22252","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/250"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22252"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22252\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42518"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22252"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22252"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22252"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
