@ImnotRaina: Suresh Raina disowns Pak tweet

@ImnotRaina: Suresh Raina disowns Pak tweet
Suresh Raina had a bit of explaining to do after a tweet related to Pakistan's exit from the T20 World Cup was sent from his verified twitter account @ImRaina on Thursday night post the team's loss to Sri Lanka. "Ek do din late gaye ghar!!!!! Woh bhi besharam ki tarah gaye... Bye bye Pakistan," Raina tweeted.

However, he deleted his tweet after users found the comment derrogatory and offered an explanation that led to further internet rolling of the batsmen. "Smart phones r dangerous. Discovered it last night after my nephew posted random tweets. Discovered it last night. I'm a sportsmen and would never disrespect." Raina wrote on Friday morning. He further added: "Though I already deleted it, I felt its better to clarify. To all those who r upset, I'm sorry. I'm not one to show disrespect."

Last week when India had defeated Pakistan, Raina had posted a photo of himself, shushing the crowd immediately after he caught Umar Akmal off Ravichandran Ashwin. Along with the photo he wrote: "8th straight win over Pakistan in World Cups. Absolute delight Thank you all for the wishes was high density as always."
