Former India batter Suresh Raina has taken a cheeky dig at Pakistan Champions after their defeat in the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025 final against South Africa Champions at Edgbaston on Saturday.
AB de Villiers hammered an unbeaten century to help South Africa Champions decimate Pakistan Champions by nine wickets and seal the WCL 2025 title.Chasing a stiff target of 196, the Proteas romped home with 19 balls to spare, thanks largely to a brutal 120* off just 60 balls from AB de Villiers.
Raina, who represented India Champions in WCL 2025, shared a cryptic message on the social media platform X.“What a knock by AB de Villiers, absolutely smashed it,” he wrote.
“Had we played, we would’ve crushed them too, but we chose our nation above everything else,” he added.

Suresh Raina also praised sponsors for pulling out of the final featuring the Pakistan Champions.
