Guwahati makes a huge blunder with Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya 

Ahead of the Indian cricket team's first CWC 2023 warm-up match against England, a hotel in Guwahati was supposed to host the 'Men in Blue'. However, the hotel made a colossal blunder with the name of Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya. He is a part of the Indian squad for the ODI World Cup 2023 and was sent the wrong check in the mail by the hotel management. However, the mail was delivered to the wrong, 'Hardik Pandya'. 

It was not the Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya who received the mail from the hotel management, but a staff of an ed-tech company who received the hotel check-in alert. He shared the screenshot of the mail on his official 'X' (formerly known as Twitter) and wrote: 

So I get a 'Online check-in' email from Radisson Blu Hotel, Guwahati.

Check-in? Tomorrow (28-09-2023).

I have no plans to fly to Guwahati tomorrow.

Turns out it's a room booked for @hardikpandya7 for the #ICCWorldCup warm-up match in Guwahati.
