The IPL match initially set for May 11 in Dharamsala between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians has been moved to Ahmedabad. The shift follows the closure of Dharamsala's airport as a consequence of India's military actions targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan.
Anil Patel, the Gujarat Cricket Association secretary, confirmed that the BCCI requested this change, which was promptly accepted. With Mumbai Indians arriving today, the travel logistics for Punjab Kings remain pending.
Travel complications arise as the Dharamsala and Chandigarh airports are non-operational, posing challenges in transporting Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals. Awaiting BCCI's confirmation of the venue change, Punjab Kings also focus on securing their first IPL play-off since 2014.
