Mumbai Indians Await BCCI Decision as Security Risks Halt Dharamsala Travel

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 has been affected by the military operation, which targeted nine terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

With multiple airports in northern India closed, logistical challenges have emerged for teams scheduled to play in Dharamsala. The Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC), set to face off on May 8, also face uncertainty regarding their travel plans.

Possible Venue Changes for Upcoming Matches

The BCCI is actively exploring alternative venues for matches originally scheduled in Dharamsala. Reports suggest that Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium could be a potential replacement, given its accessibility and infrastructure. The PBKS vs MI clash, scheduled for May 11, is now under review, with officials considering a shift to a more secure location.

Here’s a table showing the top five teams in the IPL 2025 points table as of May 7, 2025:

Rank Team Matches Played Points Net Run Rate (NRR)
1 Gujarat Titans (GT) 12 16 +0.753
2 Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) 11 16 +0.482
