Birmingham: Former Pakistan skipper Waqar Younis has questioned sportsmanship of Virat and co. after Team India's 31-run loss to England on Sunday, here, at the Edgbaston.
With the win over India, England moved to the fourth spot in the point table. Despite the loss, India still have a chance to cement their spot in the last four.
However, after India's defeat to England, Pakistan's chances of making it to the semi-finals have become a tad bit difficult.
On late Sunday night, Waqar took to Twitter and took a sly dig at India.

Meanwhile, Indian skipper Virat Kohli questioned the short boundaries of the venue after Team India's first loss in the ongoing mega tournament.
"The toss was vital, especially looking at the boundary that was quite short. I think it was 59m which coincidentally is the minimum required in an international match. Quite bizarre on a flat pitch. It's crazy that things fall in place like that randomly," said the India skipper said after the match.
"It's the first time we are experiencing this. If batsmen are able to reverse sweep, sweep you for a six on a 59m boundary you can't do much as a spinner. They had to be smarter with their lines as it was difficult to contain runs with one short boundary.
"I thought they (England) were going towards 360 at one stage, so we did well to pull things back. 10-15 lesser runs would have been better. Ben (Stokes) played a superb knock and we were happy to restrict them to 330."
