The tweet which read, “Ek do din late gaye ghar !!!! Woh bhi besharam ki tarah Gaye... Bye bye Pakistan!!!!” kicked off a storm of controversy. The cricketer later deleted the tweet.
He put the blame on his nephew for the entire fiasco as well as stating that as a cricketer he would never disrespect another team.
He tweeted,“Smart phones r dangerous. Discovered it last night after my nephew posted random tweets. I'm a sportsman and would never disrespect.”
