The sudden disruption came despite prior clearance from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Indian government to host the match, even as Dharamshala’s Kangra airport and other regional airports remain closed until May 10 as part of Operation Sindoor. The match had already faced delays earlier in the day due to rain, which pushed the toss back to 8:15 PM IST, with the match set to begin at 8:30 PM IST.
