After 10.1 overs with the score of Punjab Kings, the match was stopped from midway, in which 122/1 was to be read. Initially, fans paid attention to unusual activity, including a sudden stagnation of floodlights, before a complete blackout in the stadium took place.

“So the current update is that we had come to Dharmasala only to watch the match and you are already watching the news of the attacks, the explosion that had just happened was happening with the missiles, so suddenly the entire match was suspended and we were inside the ground and we were out of the ground, but now we challenge that we have reached here.

I think about 10 overs were done, and after that, there was a slight situation where army personnel became very active, and in our wing, there were many army people, some snipers, etc. were 8–10 army members, they were ready to warn their guns and people. And some time later, we received a phone call from our family members, S and they informed us about the firing and explosions in Patkot (Punjab). So we received that call, and after that, all the lights in the stadium closed, and then people quickly started getting empty, and within minutes, the stadium was empty. Earlier, during an over, a light stopped and we were not understanding what is happening, and another light shut down again, and after that, VIP started emptying the ground, “fan name Shubam Gautam said on Instagram.
