The IPL match between Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings to be held on Sunday in Dharamshala is set to be shifted to Mumbai after travel plans of the teams were thrown haywire following the temporary closure of the hill town's airport. Dharamsala's airport has been closed for operations indefinitely as a precautionary measure after India's missile strikes on Pakistan to dismantle terror infrastructure in the wake of the Pahalgam terrorist attack. "There is high possibility that the match will be shifted to Mumbai in case the airport remains shut," a BCCI source told PTI.
