Mid-Day

Strong words for Pakistan appeared on India’s batting stalwart Suresh Raina’s Twitter page after the 2009 World T20 champions were beaten by Sri Lanka in Colombo on Thursday.

A tweet on Raina’s page said: Ek do din late gaye ghar !!!! Woh bhi besharam ki tarah Gaye... Bye bye Pakistan!!!!

However, the tweet was deleted a little later.

India missed out on a place in the semi-final despite beating South Africa and winning four of their 5 matches in the World Twenty20 due to inferior run rate.

Australia finished top of the group with a net run-rate of +0.464, Pakistan had a net run-rate of +0.273 while India’s net run-rate was -0.274.

Raina’s latest tweet stated: “Back home after so many days.. Can't wait to Join The Chennai Super kings For CL..”
