Earlier, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) received clearance from the Indian government to host the match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC) on Thursday of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) in Dharamshala.

However, the May 11 match has been shifted from Dharamshala to Mumbai, and the new date for the match will be updated soon.

There are also possibilities that PBKS's next fixture against Delhi Capitals (DC) at Dharamshala could be reworked, as airlines have canceled their flight operations in some cities across northern, northwestern, and central India until May 10. (ANI)
