New Delhi/Perth: With barely two days left for India’s first ODI against Australia, the Men in Blue faced several hassles before arriving in Australia mainly due to a significant delay in their flight.
The players left their New Delhi hotel early Wednesday morning and reached the airport. Their flight landed in Perth around 4 a.m. on Thursday, after which they checked into their hotel. Reports said the flight was delayed by about four hours, which also led to rescheduling during their stopover in Singapore.

The group included Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, captain Shubman Gill, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Washington Sundar, Arshdeep Singh, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Harshit Rana, and Prasidh Krishna, along with members of the support staff.
