Sreejesh vs IndiGo: Indian hockey goalkeeper PR Sreejesh slams IndiGo over extra charges for carrying “goalkeeper baggage”
FIH allow me to play with a 41inch hockeystick, but @IndiGo6E never allow me to carry anything over 38inch.
What to do? Pay extra Rs,1500 for handling the goalkeeper baggage.#loot pic.twitter.com/lJWFkAlgfT— sreejesh p r (@16Sreejesh) September 23, 2022
