Following the recent terrorist assault in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, the IPL 2025 saw the introduction of Vajra Super Shot, an anti-drone device that can identify the movement of unlawful drone activity and aerial threats in real time.
To improve player and spectator safety, the IPL’s regulating body has taken action. In the rain-affected 44th game of the 18th league between the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at Eden Gardens on April 26, the unique defence technology, developed by Big Bang Boom Solutions Pvt. Ltd. (BBBS) in Chennai, made its IPL debut.
By utilising adaptive frequency technology, the defence system can identify drones within a four-kilometer radius. Additionally, the Vajra Super Shot is portable and lightweight. The BCCI’s move to bolster security has been hailed as tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated.
The IPL has addressed the need to improve safety at all venues in the wake of the horrific event at Pahalgam.
