Former Australian cricketer David Warner recently lashed out at Air India after experiencing a frustrating delay on a flight.

Warner, who last played for Australia in the Men’s T20 World Cup in the West Indies and USA, boarded a flight that was initially without a pilot, causing an extended wait.

The retired batter took to social media to express his disappointment over the situation.

Warner wrote, “We’ve boarded a plane with no pilots and waiting on the plane for hours. Why would you board passengers knowing that you have no pilots for the flight?”

Air India issued a statement, attributing the delay to bad weather conditions in Bengaluru, which caused widespread diversions and delays for several airlines.

The airline explained that the crew assigned to Warner's flight was occupied with another duty, further contributing to the hold-up.

Despite the inconvenience, Air India acknowledged the situation and expressed regret for the disruption faced by Warner and other passengers.
