The 20:20 euphoria has Air India on a new high. Half-a-dozen members of M S Dhoni’s winning team, including the captain, are employees of the national carrier.
No wonder civil aviation minister Praful Patel could not waste any time in announcing gifts for the proud half-adozen within 24 hours of pipping Pakistan to lift the first ever world cup in the shortest form.
“It is Team India as well as Team Air India,” Patel said while announcing out-of-turn promotion for the champions. Apart from Dhoni, other
Air India employees of the team are Yuvraj Singh, Irfan Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, RP Singh and Robin Uthappa. The freebies are not just for the stars; Praful’s bonanza includes free travel benefits for five years for all 15 members of the winning squad and their family members.
