On April 23, Indian people woke up to a piece of devastating and heartbreaking news about the Pahalgam terror attack in Kashmir. As per the report, 26 innocent lives were brutally shot by terrorists in a beautiful tourist spot in Pahalgam. The same report mentioned that the tourists were from Pakistan and 'specifically targeted Hindus' in the gruesome attack that took place. A lot of experts and fans have called for India to boycott matches against Pakistan going ahead.
BCCI Vice-President Rajiv Shukla stated that India would not even consider playing a bilateral series with Pakistan in the future due to such devastating attacks on innocent lives. Echoing Shukla's sentiments, fantasy gaming apps like Dream11, MyCircle, and other such platforms have boycotted the coverage of the 10th edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL 2025) season.
FanCode, who is the live streaming partner for PSL matches in India, is also not covering the matches for the PSL 2025 season starting on April 24.

Fantasy & Streaming Giants Pull Plug on PSL 2025 in Protest of Pahalgam Terror Attack
It is to be noted that no one has instructed the fantasy and streaming giants to boycott the PSL 2025 event. The decision has been made to stand with India in this tough time. This is by far the most chilling attack on innocent lives, and the majority of the experts and fans want the government to take swift action.
