What vexed the cricketing legend even more was when the British Airways tagged his luggage to wrong destination.

British Airways, like every other socially active company, decided to address his queries in a tweet, promising action on his complaints. But, the attempt fell flat when the airline asked for Sachin’s 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?

The practice of British Airways of treating all its customers equally proved to be a butt of joke, because in a hilarious turn of events, and Sachin’s fans decided to give a tough time to the airliner. Here are some of the best tweets that we found on this whole pandemonium.
