<p>BCCI has officially announced the revised schedule for Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, with the tournament set to resume on May 17. The season had been suspended midway on May 9 due to escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, prompting many foreign players to return home.</p> <p>While several overseas cricketers are now returning for the remainder of the league, others have opted out. Meanwhile, a major controversy has errupted involving the Delhi Capitals.</p> <h3>Social Media erupts over Mustafizur Rahman</h3> <p>After the suspension, BCCI permitted franchises to seek player replacements. Delhi Capitals named Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman as a replacement for Jake Fraser-McGurk, the dynamic Australian batter. However, shortly afterward, Mustafizur posted on social media that he would not be joining the IPL, instead choosing to represent Bangladesh in a 2-match ODI series against UAE.</p> <p>DC's decision to sign a Bangladeshi player has angered fans, who are accusing the franchise of poor judgment. Many are demanding a ban on Bangladeshi players in the IPL, expressing their frustration through hashtags like #BoycottDelhiCapitals and labeling the franchise a "Deshdrohi team" on X.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="qme"><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BoycottDelhiCapitals?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#BoycottDelhiCapitals</a></p> — Avinash Kumar (@avi_9ash) <a href="https://twitter.com/avi_9ash/status/1922719528502394924?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 14, 2025</a></blockquote> <p> <script src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" charset="utf-8"></script> </p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Bravo, <a href="https://twitter.com/ParthJindal11?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ParthJindal11</a> While Indian soldiers guard our borders, you’re busy rewarding players from a country cheering for Pakistan.

The team had a strong start to the season but has recently lost momentum. Out of 11 matches played, they've secured 6 wins, suffered 4 losses, and had 1 no-result. With 13 points, they currently occupy 5th place on the points table.</p> <p>With three league matches remaining, DC must win at least two to strengthen their playoff chances.</p>
