Cricketer-turned-commentator Irfan Pathan hit out at Vistara airlines after he landed in Dubai recently. He is part of the commentary team for the upcoming Asia Cup 2022. According to him, the airlines downgraded his ticket class involuntarily. The former all-rounder says that he had to wait for one and half hours to resolve his issue. He added that his family had to endure this experience as well.

"Today, I was traveling to Dubai from Mumbai by Vistara Flight UK-201. At the check-in counter, I had a very bad experience, Vistara was involuntarily downgrading my ticket class which was a confirmed booking," Pathan wrote on Twitter.

"I was made to wait one and half an hour at the counter for a resolution. Along with me, my wife, my 8-month-old infant, and 5 years old child also had to go through this."

Other passengers had the same experience: Irfan Pathan

According to the two-time World Championship winner, the other passengers on the plane had the same experience. He revealed that the flight was overbooked and questioned why it was not looked into. The 37-year-old requested the concerned authorities to look into the matter.

"The ground staff were rude and giving various excuses. Infact, couple of passengers also had to go through the same experience. I don't understand why they oversold the flight and how is this even approved by the management? I would request the concerned authorities to take immediate action on these incidents so that no one has to go through the same experience as I did," read his tweet further.

After the tweet, another former India cricket, and Irfan's colleague, Aakash Chopra replied to the latter's tweet by saying "Hey @airvistara, totally unexpected from you."

The former left-handed all-rounder then said '"Specially after seeing infant in my arms too."
