The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match between Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings, set for the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala on May 11, looks destined to move to Mumbai because of India’s counter-terrorism initiative ‘Operation Sindoor’.
Punjab airport maintains a heightened security status following the Indian Armed Forces’ destruction of nine terror camps through Operation Sindoor during their retaliation against the Pahalgam terrorists who killed 26 people. Sports Tak says the upcoming match between the Punjab Kings and the Mumbai Indians will likely be held in Mumbai.

Dharamsala Ready For PBKS vs DC?
Sports Tak’s top sources indicate the Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals game currently faces uncertainty for its initial Dharamsala hosting since the match will occur at night and the stadium’s floodlights and Kangra district’s proximity to the border both create conditions for potential cancellation or rescheduling of the game. The IPL governing body BCCI, continues communication with the Indian government regarding approval for the forthcoming match.
Operation Sindoor
Indian Armed Forces began “Operation Sindoor” at dawn on May 7 with retaliation strikes against Pakistani terrorist assets and units based in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) after terrorists killed 26 people during the April 22 Pahalgam incident. The Ministry of Defence issued a declaration revealing nine Indian attack sites with no Pakistani military installations being touched.
