"Ek do din late gaye ghar !!!! Woh bhi besharam ki tarah Gaye... Bye bye Pakistan!!!!" was tweeted by Raina's official Twitter account @ImRaina regarding Pakistan's World Twenty20 exit after losing to Sri Lanka in the semi-final.

The tweet was deleted after receiving a negative response from his followers and Raina posted an explanation the next day saying that it had been tweeted by his nephew.

"Smart phones r dangerous. Discovered it last night after my nephew posted random tweets. I'm a sportsman and would never disrespect."

"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," Raina tweeted.

However, his excuse has not been accepted widely and a parody account @raina_nephew has also been made.

India were knocked out of the World Twenty20 after the Super Eights stage as Pakistan and Australia progressed to the semi-finals.
