Indian cricketer Suresh Raina is well known for his ability to handle a googly. But a recent incident on a micro-blogging site found the batsman facing a similar challenge off the field.
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.”

Another tweet followed, “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.”
This topic became a rage on Twitter to the extent that even an account named @raina_nephew was created, thus taking a dig at the all-rounder.
