5 instances when big matches/tournaments in India were shifted to a new venue

#1 India vs Pakistan – 2016 World T20 – shifted from Dharamsala to Kolkata

India beat Pakistan comfortably in the 2016 World T20 at Kolkata

The 2016 World T20 match between arch-rivals India and Pakistan was shifted to Kolkata from Dharamsala due to security reasons. With many of the martyred armymen hailing from Kangra district, where the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) stadium is located, rampant protests were made to cancel any sort of cricketing tie with Pakistan.

The HPCA authorities said they do not have adequate security force to ensure safety of the players and spectators, and thus the match was relocated to Kolkata. The game was won by the hosts in an easy fashion.
