Mahendra Singh Dhoni stunned one and all with a sudden decision to give up limited-overs captaincy on Wednesday (Janaury 4), less than two weeks short of the three-match One-Day International (ODI) series against England. As expected, Dhoni's decision sent his fans on twitter into a tizzy.

There was shock, and then some denial...

But some saw sense in Dhoni's timing too...

There was also the 'light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel' optimism...

While some took their time to weigh it all in...

I think decision of M. S. Dhoni to quit from captaincy is a right one! Nevertheless a glorious era comes to end! Salute to you!!#DhoniQuits

Many congrats @msdhoni for a great stint as skipper. India still needs MSD the batsman. Perhaps the right time for @imVkohli to take over.

Dear @msdhoni the 9 year tenure cap by Lodha panel was only for BCCI administrators, not cricket team captains (2007-2016)
