People asking others for cricket scores while travelling is an entirely common sight. What, however, is not so common is someone doing so while travelling in a plane. Turns out, cricket fan Vikram Garga did just that during the match between India and South Africa in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2022. And now, his tweet about the response he received from the pilot is creating a buzz.

“India lost today but ⁦@IndiGo6E⁩ won my heart. Pilot sent a note mid air when requested for score update. #momentsthatmatter,” Garga tweeted along with a picture of the note. The image shows the score of the match written on an IndiGo napkin.
