In what was a rare case of a goof-up, wrong Hardik Pandya was sent a check-in email from a Guwahati hotel. In this hotel, the India team is staying for their warm-up game against England. Notably, this game has been abandoned as it kept raining after the toss. At the toss, the home team, India won the toss and elected to bat first.
Meanwhile, a few days back, another Hardik in India, who happens to be a Unacademy employee, received an email from the same hotel for check-in. The Senior Vice President of Design for Unacademy took to Twitter to mention the fact that he has no plans to check in. “I have no plans to fly to Guwahati tomorrow. Turns out it’s a room booked for @hardikpandya7 for the #ICCWorldCup warm-up match in Guwahati.”
So I get a 'Online check-in' email from Radisson Blu Hotel, Guwahati.
Check-in? Tomorrow (28-09-2023).
I have no plans to fly to Guwahati tomorrow.
Turns out it's a room booked for @hardikpandya7 for the #ICCWorldCup warm-up match in Guwahati.
