The Punjab-Mumbai Venue Shift has moved the IPL 2025 clash between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians from Dharamsala to Ahmedabad, as verified by Gujarat Cricket Association secretary Anil Patel to TimesofIndia.com. This IPL 2025 Relocation ensures the high-stakes match, originally set for the scenic HPCA Stadium, will now take place at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium, adapting to logistical or security concerns.
“Yes, the match between MI and PBKS will now be played in Ahmedabad,” says Patel.
Due to the shutdown of Dharamsala and nearby airports, it wasn’t possible for Mumbai Indians to reach Dharamsala from Mumbai.
Teams’ Travel Chaos
The closure of Dharamsala and the surrounding airports caused the Punjab-Mumbai Venue Shift, which prevented the Mumbai Indians from traveling from Mumbai to Dharamsala for their IPL 2025 matchup with the Punjab Kings. MI was supposed to leave on Wednesday night, but the closure of Dharamsala Airport kept them stuck in Mumbai.
MI’s travel problem was fixed when the match was moved to Ahmedabad. But now, the Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings are affected by the IPL logistical chaos, and they have a logistical nightmare when they leave Dharamsala. Team schedules have been thrown off, making travel more difficult and adding stress to the already demanding IPL 2025 season. The Delhi-PBKS Travel Woes have emerged as a major obstacle for the teams.
Due to the ongoing Dharamsala Airport Shutdown, the Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians, who play tonight in Ahmedabad after the Punjab-Mumbai Venue Shift, will have a difficult journey ahead of them in their May 11 IPL 2025 matches.
The teams have to make a long road trip because the surrounding airports are closed, which makes the IPL schedule even more stressful. According to sources, in order to overcome the Teams’ Travel Dilemma, they are taking into account every possibility, including traveling by train.
Since there are currently no confirmed plans, the teams are rushing to modify their logistics while concentrating on their important upcoming matches during a busy IPL season.
According to trustworthy sources, the Mumbai Indians will arrive in Ahmedabad late Thursday for their Sunday IPL 2025 matchup against the Punjab Kings. The tight IPL schedule, the short intervals between games, and the arduous journey ahead highlighted the difficulties of MI’s Ahmedabad arrival, according to a team official who stressed the importance of putting player comfort first.
