Dharamshala is currently on high alert following the operation, with heightened security measures in place. In response to the operation, the Indian government has temporarily closed 19 airports, including those in Chandigarh, Dharamshala, and Rajiv Gandhi Stadium. While Punjab Kings are already in the state, other teams may encounter travel difficulties. There are speculations that the match between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians could be rescheduled, although no official confirmation has been issued. Today's match against Delhi Capitals will proceed under strict security protocols.
Details on Operation Sindoor
Operation Sindoor specifically targeted nine terrorist hideouts in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and Pakistan, serving as a response to the heinous attack on innocent tourists in Pahalgam, Kashmir. The region, including Punjab, is currently under tight security, particularly around the stadium hosting today's match.

The Delhi Capitals began the 2025 Indian Premier League with a strong performance but have since struggled with their batting lineup. To secure a playoff spot, they must win their remaining three matches and hope for favorable outcomes from other teams. On the other hand, the Punjab Kings have accumulated 15 points from 11 matches and will face Delhi Capitals, Mumbai Indians, and Rajasthan Royals. While 15 points could potentially qualify them depending on other results, winning all three matches would guarantee a top-two finish, and two victories would ensure a place in the top four.
