National cricket team

On the flight to Mumbai, which of course was delayed 1 hour at Lucknow and another 1 hour in the sky, some athletes came in just before leaving, sitting of course at the front. After take off, 1 man went to the front with a pen and a paper, to get an autograph I presumed. Then came a second one; and a third one, and a fourth one. In no time almost all the men on board were lining up to get an autograph. So I asked, who are they? to the man sitting next to me. Given the way he looked at me, this was not the right question to ask, I should know. It turned out it was the national cricket team of India, back from playing a game against England.
