The former all-rounder could never make a comeback after that and with his tweet, it seemed that he may have been trying to hold MS Dhoni responsible for his ouster from the Indian team. Furthermore, Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh also retweeted Irfan Pathan's tweet and said that he absolutely agrees with him.
