Star India pacer Deepak Chahar lambasted Malayasian Airlines for misplacing his luggage and and denied him the food when he was travelling to Dhaka for the ODI series against Bangladesh which is slated to kick off from December 4 (Sunday). The 30-year-old Chahar joined the Team India squad in Bangladesh for the three-match ODI series.
“Had a worse experience travelling with Malaysia airlines @MAS.first they changed our flight without telling us and no food in Business class. Now we have been waiting for our luggage from last 24hours. Imagine we have a game to play tomorrow,” Chahar tweeted on Saturday morning before team’s training session.
Mohammed Siraj, Chahar, Shardul Thakur, Shikhar Dhawan, Shubman Gill, Washington Sundar were all flying from Christchurch to Dhaka via Kuala Lumpur after completing the ODI assignment in New Zealand.
Meanwhile, Umran Malik had flown back to India but now will travel to Bangladesh to replace Mohammed Shami who has been ruled out of the ODI series owing to shoulder injury, while Suryakumar Yadav has been rested due to workload. Malaysian Airlines sent Chahar a complaint link on twitter but the cricketer said that it didn't open.
"May be unavoidable due to operational, weather-related, and technical reasons. We apologise for the inconvenience caused," the airlines replied on twitter about the change in flight.
