Suresh Raina (Photo: X) The World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025 concluded on Sunday with a dominant performance by the South Africa Champions, who secured a 9-wicket victory over Pakistan Champions in the final.

In the aftermath of this result, former India cricketer Suresh Raina voiced a heartfelt sentiment on the social media platform X, saying: "What a knock by AB de Villiers in the final, absolutely smashed it. Had we played, we would've crushed them too, but we chose our nation above everything else." Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! While South Africa lifted the trophy, it was India Champions' withdrawal from their high-profile semi-final clash against Pakistan Champions that drew just as much attention. The match was officially called off by tournament organisers, with Pakistan advancing to the final by default. The final saw Pakistan Champions post a competitive 195/5 in their 20 overs, with Sharjeel Khan amassing 76 off 44 and Umar Amin scoring an unbeaten 36 off 19. However, their bowling unit had no answer to South Africa's explosive batting. Poll Do you agree with Suresh Raina's statement about India's potential performance? Yes, they would have won No, it's just speculation Partially agree Not sure De Villiers, supported by JP Duminy's 50* off 28, made light work of the chase, wrapping up the win in just 16.5 overs. With India's absence from the semi-finals lingering as a "what-if" moment, Raina's words highlight the confidence within the team and their commitment to representing India beyond just cricket . While the WCL 2025 ended with South Africa's emphatic triumph, the legacy of this edition may ultimately be defined just as much by who didn't play as by who won.
