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.

What a perfect way to honor our brave soldiers! 🇮🇳 B Praak's patriotic songs always give me goosebumps. Hope the stadium is packed with tricolor flags. Jai Hind!

While I appreciate the tribute, I wish they'd also announce some concrete support for soldiers' families. A performance is nice, but scholarships and healthcare for martyrs' kids would be better.

Dharamshala is such a perfect location for this - right in the lap of Himalayas where our soldiers guard the borders. B Praak's "Filhaal" gives me chills every time! 🎶

Hope they broadcast this performance properly. Last time the audio was terrible during the national anthem at Wankhede. Our armed forces deserve perfect production values!

Smart move by BCCI to get this cleared despite security concerns. Cricket and patriotism - the perfect combo to lift the nation's mood after the Pahalgam attack.

Would have been great if they could invite some local Himachali artists too. Our hill state has given so many soldiers to the nation - their folk songs would make this even more special.
