“This is by far the worst airline experience” - Abhishek Sharma names Indigo staff in brutal statement ahead of IND vs ENG 2025 T20Is

Young India opener Abhishek Sharma has blasted Indigo Airlines, claiming that he recently had "the worst experience" with them at the New Delhi airport. The youngster also called out the counter manager at the airport for her behavior.

The left-hander took to his official Instagram handle to rue that he was redirected to some other counter despite initially arriving at the correct one. With a delay occurring in taking the flight, he missed it. The southpaw blamed the flight authorities for his ordeal.

He wrote on Instagram stories:

"I had the worst experience with Indigo at Delhi airport, and the behaviour of staff, especially counter manager Ms Sushmita Mittal, was absolutely unacceptable. I arrived on time at the correct counter, but they redirected me unnecessarily to another counter. only to tell me later that check-in was closed, making me miss my flight. I only had a one-day holiday, which has now been completely ruined. To make it even worse, they are offering no further helpful assistance. This is by far the worst airline experience, and worst staff management I've ever had."

Here's a look at what he wrote:

The 24-year-old made his international debut during the five-match T20I series against Zimbabwe in July 2024 as the selectors picked him on the basis of his stellar IPL campaign for the SunRisers Hyderabad.

Although he registered a duck on debut, Abhishek blasted a 46-ball ton in the second T20I. Overall, in 12 T20Is, the youngster has made 256 runs at 23.27 but possesses a strike rate of 171.81.

With England looming as a formidable opponent, they will serve the southpaw with a mighty challenge. Fans can expect a high-scoring five-game T20I series.
