Bangalore: India paceman S Sreesanth went through a 'harrowing' experience at the Bangalore airport here on Tuesday. The Kerala bowler, who was part of the second batch at the ongoing roll camp, was scheduled to leave for Kochi on a Kingfisher airlines flight but was not allowed to check in because he reached a bit late.
"The departure of the flight was at 6 am and the check-in time was 5.30 am. I arrived at the airport just five minutes late. They simply refused to oblige." Sreesanth, who was to join his family for Onam, had to wait for another four hours for the next flight. A Kingfisher spokesman said Sreesanth had reported at the check-in counter just 14 minutes before the take-off. "Hence we could not accept him on board. The flight was scheduled for 6 am but Sreesanth reported at 5.46 am," he said.
