India Champions boycotting Pakistan Champions during a recent T20 competition that saw participations from several former international cricketers created a storm. The Indian team, captain by Yuvraj Singh, was the defending champions but refused to play Pakistan in a league match followed by the semifinal clash which resulted in them exiting the competition.<\/p>\n

Pakistan advanced to the title clash where they suffered a crushing defeat to South Africa Champions. Ex-India cricketer Suresh Raina, who was part of the Yuvraj-led side, praised South Africa for their performance while singling out the blistering match-winning century from the legendary AB de Villiers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a knock by @ABdeVilliers17 in the final, absolutely smashed it,” Rain posted on X.<\/p>\n

Raina added that Indian team would\u2019ve also delivered a similar performance, but the players chose country ahead of the match.<\/p>\n

\u201cHad we played, we would\u2019ve crushed them (Pakistan) too, but we chose our nation above everything else,” he added.<\/p>\n
