Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh who represents Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Saturday took to Twitter to register a complaint about losing his IPL bat while travelling from Mumbai to Coimbatore on an Indigo airplane.
“As soon as we landed in Coimbatore, I saw that one bat was missing. I do not know about the whereabouts of my bat, I cannot say that it has been stolen,” Singh told ANI.
Singh further said despite opting for extra baggage package, the airles demaned extra money which his team did not pay. "But my kit bag was not opened after practice, we had opted for the 35kg extra baggage package. At the airport, the authorities told me that we are having extra baggage and they asked us for extra 1200 rupees, but my team did not pay the amount as we had already opted for extra baggage package,” Harbhajan said.
“The bat is missing, I don’t know whether it is related to the baggage thing or not, the bat is my primary thing. I play with that in the IPL. I last used it during a practice session in Juhu. I have complained to the authorities as the bat is important. Indigo guys have told me that they would look into the matter, I hope they will do the needful,” he added.
Apologizing for the incident, Indigo Airlines then replied by saying that immediate action would be taken.
