Sachin's tweeted about the incident saying he was 'disappointed and frustrated'.
Angry Disappointed and Frustrated.. #BAdserviceBA Family member's Waitlisted ticket not confirmed despite seats being available (1/2)

Sachin Tendulkar completely bamboozled by vintage Saqlain Mushtaq
And while British Airways replied to Sachin’s tweet in less than 15 minutes, they also made the mistake of asking the cricket legend to provide his full name, which seemingly left Sachin's fan furious about the incident
@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?

Here are some priceless reactions:
Looks like India can forgive Britain for 100 Yrs of occupation but not for British Airways asking @sachin_rt his full name.

Some fans also began trolling Sharapova, who claimed earlier this year she had no idea who Sachin was.
