Shardul Thakur makes headlines again, but not this time for his getting selected for the T20 World Cup squad but because of some other reason.
Shardul Thakur, who is being announced to be the replacement for the star bowler Jasprit Bumrah, while getting aboard towards his tour to Australia found that his luggage was missing.
What was then, the cricketer took the matter to the universal complaint and grievance platform, Twitter, and humbly requested the Airline to help him in this time of issue. Look at what he said,
@airindiain can you send someone to help me at the luggage belt ? Not the first time that my kit bags haven’t arrived and no staff present at the location either !!
Shardul Thakur
Now might be thinking this all about this news, but you are thinking so, then we suggest there is a twist moving forward.
For the rescue, jumped in Harbhajan Singh who was the former Air India’s employee, tweeting back to Shardul stating,
My dear, we will make sure you get your bag and our staff will be there to assist you.. sorry for the inconvenience.. (Ex Airindian Bhajji) we love you.
Shardul Thakur
What was then, the bromance between the two started. Shardul after knowing that Harbhajan Paaji has replied, he immediately responded to the tweet, thanking and saying,
@harbhajan_singh Bhajji pa love you tooo ❤️ I got help from @flyspicejet staff.

Seems hilarious, know, but it was an indirect dig at the Airlines (Air India) for such service, and of course is not for the first time.
According to BCCI’s secret source to PTI, three players, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj and Shardul Thakur have been named as the reinforced replacement for Jasprit Bumrah and will have to go through tough practice sessions, to prove their mettle. Surprisingly, all three of them are in their best shape.
Bowling unit is an important aspect of this tour because of the pitch demand of Australia. All Australian pitches are full of bounce and therefore, so much stress is being given to the bowler’s side.
Will keep you posted in case of any new updates!!
