South Africa captain Faf du Plessis experienced “one of his worst flying experiences” ahead of the Test series in India after his British Airways flight was delayed.
“Finally on a plane to Dubai after a 4 hour delay. Now I’m gonna miss my flight to India, next flight is only 10 hours later,” du Plessis tweeted on Friday.
His following tweet read: “When life gives you lemons , make lemonade .My cricket bag hasn’t arrived !!!!!!!!!!Actually can just smile about it but, wow @British_Airways today was one of my worst flying experiences where everything went wrong. Now just hoping I’ll have my bats back eventually.”
Du Plessis skipped the ongoing T20 series in India with Quinton de Kock leading the side in his absence. India beat South Africa by seven wickets in the second T20 International to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Newly-appointed captain de Kock (52 off 37) led from the front, while Temba Bavuma (49 off 43) too impressed in his first limited-overs appearance for South Africa in almost two years..
The three-Test series begins in Visakhapatnam from October 2.
