Usually, BCCI reserves the best seats for the Indian team – home or abroad – but seeing the sparse nature of business class seats on an aircraft, the power couple Virat Kohli and wife Anushka Sharma gave away their seats to the team’s seamers.
The revelation was made by former England captain and now commentator Michael Vaughan on his Twitter account. Currently part of Fox Sports as the pundit for the India-Australia series, Vaughan tweeted, “Witnessed @imVkohli & his wife give up their Business class seats to allow the Quicks more comfort & space on the trip from Adelaide – Perth !! Danger Australia .. Not only are the quicks more relaxed .. The Skipper is managing his troops with great human touches #AUSvIND”.
India travelled from Adelaide to Perth for the second Test after clinching the opener by 31 runs. When asked why all players weren’t booked on business class anyway, Vaughan clarified to a user that there were only 12 seats of the kind available on the aircraft.
