According to Sharma, he was supposed to book tickets for his parents to Hyderabad but mistakenly booked them a flight to Amritsar. His parents were supposed to go to Hyderabad to see him play against LSG, but it never happened.
“I was talking to my mom-dad. They were scheduled to come for this match, but unfortunately, I booked them a flight for home (from another location). I had to book (air tickets) for Hyderabad, but I booked for Amritsar,” the Punjab-born said to JioCinema.
Following this the video went viral and netizens were soon to react on it.
Here are few comments:
One netizen wrote, “Oh my god (sic) This is not good job abhishekh bhai.”

“Nice way to keep the parents grounded, literally! (sic),” a twitterati wrote.
