Air India diverted a scheduled Delhi-Mumbai flight to Jaipur to pick up 35 players and other members of the Mumbai Indians team of the Indian Premier League on April 12, a spokesman of the airlines said. The report of the diversion of the scheduled flight came in the backdrop of the controversy over the national carrier pulling out an aircraft of its scheduled flight and converting into a charter to ferry IPL players from Chandigarh to Chennai on April 20.
