India cricket supporters and fans of Ravindra Jadeja supported him on his tweet and had some pretty expressive reactions:

"I am not a big fan of bits and pieces players which Jadeja is at this point of his career in 50 over cricket. In test match, he is a pure bowler. But in 50 over cricket, I would rather have a batsman and a spinner."

There's a petition on https://t.co/SXafSamJnS for @sanjaymanjrekar 's removal from commentary box. Hope he practices what he preaches to #thala @msdhoni - 'Gracially retiring'!!
