Muzumdar said Jaffer has been a role model to many players. “I don’t think he should have clarified anything because we all know what he is. He need not explain. I have played with him for so many years and he has been a fantastic servant of the game. He played the game in the right spirit,” said Muzumdar. 
 
Meanwhile, legendary leg-spinner and former India captain Anil Kumble, who worked closely with Jaffer at Kings XI Punjab in the last IPL, tweeted: “With you Wasim. Did the right thing. Unfortunately, it’s the players who’ll miss your mentor ship.”

Former India seamer Irfan Pathan expressed his disappointment that Jaffer had to clarify things. “Unfortunate that you have to explain this,” he tweeted.
