Looks like British Airways is in soup.
Sachin Tendulkar is one of the most popular sports star in the world’s second-most populous nation, India. Not only that, but Indians revere him with practically a god-like status.
And he has just had a bad experience with British Airways, and he’s venting about it on Twitter.

Making it worse. British Airways responded and asked Tendulkar for his full name:
@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?

Tendulkar is currently in Los Angeles to play the final T20 match of the Cricket All-Stars.
Last year, Indian classical musician Ustad Amjad Ali Khan‘s sarod had gone missing while he was returning to Delhi from London by a British Airways flight.
