American micro-blogging and social networking platform Twitter on Saturday removed the blue tick from legendary cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni's account.
The blue tick on a Twitter handle is to let people know that the social media account is authentic. It said to receive the blue badge, the person's account must be authentic, notable, and active.
ANI tried to contact Twitter to ascertain the reason behind it and is still awaiting its reply.
Dhoni last tweeted a link to his video on Instagram on January 8, 2021 with the caption, "If I keep going to the farm there wonβt be any strawberry left for the market."
In the video, Dhoni could be seen eating strawberries fresh off a farm.
The news of the disappearance of the blue tick soon spread on Twitter and elicited various kinds of reactions. The term 'inactive' started trending as well.
Some fans showed disappointment and asked Dhoni to return to Twitter. Others imagined how the cricketer would react and made memes that made Twitterati chuckle.
In case you are the upset by the news too, here are some of the most hilarious reactions to make you laugh.
Have a look.
