Prannoy alongwith Sai Praneeth, PC Thulasi, Siril Verma and Ruthvika Shivani had booked a flight MH 0199 from Hyderabad to Kuala Lumpur in the early hours yesterday but it got delayed, which meant they missed the connecting flights from Malaysia to Jakarta and Balikpapan.


"Malaysia airlines completed messed it up. Our Hyderabad to Malaysia flight got delayed. So we missed the connection from Malaysia to Jakarta. They gave next flight from Malaysia then but that was also delayed by 3 hours. So we missed our Jakarata-Balikpapan flight as well, " Prannoy told PTI.

"So now we had to buy one ticket for Rs 10000 for the night flight. There is no refund from Malaysia Airline. We are not waiting at Jakarta airport. And now even the night flight again got delayed by 2 hours. So I hope I reach there today morning, " a frustrated Prannoy added.

The tournament starts on September 6 but their matches will be held on September 7.

"At least we are lucky the matches are on September 7. If it was on September 6 then it would have been better to concede the match then go there," said Prannoy, who is supported by GOSPORTS foundation.

Prannoy had won the Indonesia Masters in 2014.
