New Delhi [India], Sept 21 (ANI): Ahead of the Test series against India, which is scheduled to start on October 2, South Africa Test skipper Faf du Plessis missed connecting flight to India from Dubai due to a delay from British Airways on Saturday.
Taking to Twitter, Plessis wrote: "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... @British_Airways."

In another tweet, Plessis wrote that his kit bag was yet to arrive and even termed the flying experience as 'worst'.
"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. My cricket bag hasn't arrived !!!!!!!!!! Actually can just smile about it but, wow @British_Airways today was one of my worst flying experiences where everything went wrong. Now just hoping I'll have my bats back eventually," Plessis tweeted.

South Africa will play the three-match Test series which is a part of the ICC World Test Championship after the conclusion of ongoing T20I series against India.
