Due to India’s missile strikes on Pakistan’s terror infrastructure as part of ‘Operation Sindoor’, 18 airports in the northern and western parts of the country, including the one in Dharamsala, have been temporarily shut down. This has affected the travel plans of IPL teams like Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians, who are scheduled to face Punjab Kings in Dharamsala. Mumbai Indians had their flight to Dharamsala canceled, and are now awaiting further instructions from the BCCI. The BCCI is considering shifting the game to Mumbai due to the airport closure. Punjab Kings, already in Dharamsala, are not facing immediate travel issues. The match between Delhi and Punjab is still scheduled, but logistical challenges remain. The usage of floodlights in the match may pose a security issue. Amidst the tense situation, discussions are ongoing with franchises to address travel options. The situation is fluid, and updates are awaited regarding the matches and travel plans. India conducted precision strikes in response to a terror attack in Pahalgam, resulting in the closure of airports and affecting IPL travel plans.
