Australian Cricket team load own luggage soon after arriving in India – See Pics!

New Delhi: The Australian cricket team landed at the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai on February 13 ahead of the 4-match Test series against India. Though they would have expected to be put to tough challenges by the hosts but they surely didn't expect the challenge to start at the airport itself after they were forced to load their own luggage in a vehicle which was arranged to carry them to the hotel.

A Mid-day reporter seized the moment and captured Australian opener David Warner standing inside the luggage carrier with skipper Steve Smith fulfilling the duty of handing him the luggage.

Here are some of the pics from the incident:-
