India and South Africa will be locking horns with each other for a three-match Test series which is scheduled to commence on October 2 at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. Faf du Plessis, who wasn’t part of the T20I series, is on his way to India to join the Proteas, but he has had a bit of a delay and by his own admission will miss the connecting flight from Dubai to India.
Faf du Plessis decided to took to Twitter to trash British Airways, saying “today was one of my worst flying experiences where everything went wrong”. He tweeted: “Finally on a plane to Dubai after a 4-hour delay. Now I’m gonna miss my flight to India, next flight is only 10 hours later”.
