Team India had to face defeat in another Test series at home. With the biggest and most embarrassing defeat at the hands of South Africa by a margin of 408 runs in the Guwahati Test match, the Indian team got wiped out 0-2 in the series. Fans are angry with the performance of Team India and questions are being raised on the players. Mohammad Siraj, who was a part of the Indian playing-11 in this series, is in the news for a different reason because he has publicly expressed his anger. His anger was directed at an airline through which he had to fly from Guwahati to his hometown Hyderabad.
The second match of the Test series ended on Wednesday 26 November at Barsapara Cricket Stadium. This was also the last day of this match, so as soon as the match ended, all the players and support staff left for their respective homes or for the ODI series. Fast bowler Siraj is not a part of the India-South Africa ODI series, so he started returning to his home in Hyderabad as soon as the Test series ended. But here he had to face difficulties because of the airline.
Siraj got angry on flight delay
Actually, the Air India Express flight from Guwahati to Hyderabad in which Siraj was supposed to take was delayed by 4 hours and due to this Siraj got very angry. The Indian pacer expressed his anger over the ‘X’ account and slammed the airline. Siraj wrote in his post at 11:33 pm, “Air India flight IX 2884 from Guwahati to Hyderabad was scheduled to depart at 7:25 but no information has been given by the airline and after repeated requests, they have delayed the flight without any reason.”
Air India flight no IX 2884 from Guwahati to Hyderabad was supposed to take off at 7.25 however there has been no communication from the airline and after repeatedly following up, they have just delayed the flight with no proper reasoning. This has been really frustrating and

Siraj further wrote, “This is very disturbing. The flight has been delayed for 4 hours and there is still no information, due to which we are stuck. Worst airline experience. If they (airlines) cannot take a clear stand then I would advise to never take this flight.”
Apologized in airline, gave this answer
After this public embarrassment at the hands of the Indian star cricketer, Air India Express replied to his post after about 40 minutes and said that the flight has been canceled due to operational reasons. Apologizing for this situation, the airline wrote that it is busy making some arrangements for all the passengers and will continue to provide all kinds of updates and support.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused, Mr Siraj. We regret to inform you that the flight has been canceled due to unforeseen operational reasons. Our team at the airport is actively assisting all guests with the necessary arrangements. We understand how difficult
