Losing stuff during baggage and waiting long at the airport to collect our luggage is something that happens to normal people like you and I. Not with the famous celebrities. Isn’t it?

Wrong.

Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar who was in the states for ‘All Star Cricket’ Match Series recently had to face some problems with the British Airways. He tweeted,

Angry Disappointed and Frustrated.. #BAdserviceBA Family member’s Waitlisted ticket not confirmed despite seats being available (1/2) — sachin tendulkar (@sachin_rt) November 13, 2015

Seems like Sachin had a frustrating day. The second part of his Tweet continued,

And luggage being tagged by @British_Airways to wrong destination and don’t care attitude! #NeveronBA (2/2) — sachin tendulkar (@sachin_rt) November 13, 2015

Well, that’s something that can annoy anyone, even a calm headed person like Sachin.

But what followed Sachin’s tweet was even more interesting. The reply by British Airways to him pushed them in quite a limelight.

@sachin_rt We’re sorry to hear this Sachin, could you please DM us your baggage ref, full name and address so we can look into this for you? — British Airways (@British_Airways) November 13, 2015

Well, they wanted to know Sachin Tendulkar’s name and address, so why wouldn’t millions of his fans help? The replies soon started pouring in and people took it as a mission to give BA a befitting reply.

His name is Tendulkar. Sachin Tendulkar. and you’re in trouble. Big Trouble. #neveronBA https://t.co/aeVNgvnaWH — Animesh Bhatt (@AnimeshBhatt) November 13, 2015

At first they were outraged,

Then they brought bigger issues to the picture,

.@British_Airways First you don’t return kohinoor, Now @sachin_rt luggage also!! How much we should tolerate?! — Indian Nazi (@IndianNazi) November 13, 2015

People even remembered the old wounds they got when Maria Sharapova said she didn’t know Sachin,

Some people even got genuinely concerned for BA and send them a sincere warning,

Oh British Airways, brace for impact. You’ve a storm coming. — Shan (@shan_daar) November 13, 2015

And finally the jokes even reached the great Britain,

.@narendramodi Sir BA lost Sachin’s bags please come home at once — Rohan (@mojorojo) November 13, 2015

Some threats were thrown around in good humor

Saale British. Tum log bas Rooney ko bhejo ek baar Air India se. — Azeem Banatwalla (@TheBanat) November 13, 2015

That expression though

Well…

Cameron to Modi: it was a small mistake by @British_Airways I get it but……. pic.twitter.com/VTHaRUABbs — Smita Prakash (@smitaprakash) November 13, 2015

Well, we sincerely hope that Sachin’s issues are quickly resolved and his luggage is returned to him safe and sound. Sachin fans are coming, BA, brace yourself!
