Who is Sachin Tendulkar? Last time some asked that (read Maria Sharapova) twitter went on a meltdown. Now British Airways has managed a rare feat of both getting Sachin and then asking who he was. On Friday, Tendulkar took to Twitter to vent his anger about his bad experience with British Airways.

The Airline Twitter handle then responded with an apology and asked Tendulkar for his baggage reference, full name and address, this is where Twitter went berserk and took on British Airways, Tendulkar had used the hashtag #NeveronBA in his tweets and in just a matter of minutes, the hashtag and Brtish Airways were trending in India. Here’s how twitter reacted:
Dear @British_Airways One Does Not Simply ask Sachin his Full Name ! @sachin_rt
