The blue tick from India’s World Cup-winning skipper MS Dhoni’s official Twitter account was removed on Friday by the microblogging and social networking platform Twitter. Twitter places blue ticks on verified accounts.
Despite having millions of followers on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, Dhoni is not a frequent user of social media and seldom posts anything.
On Twitter, he has 8.2 million followers, while on Facebook, he has over 26 million and on Instagram, he has 34.5 million. However, unlike his former India teammates and Chennai Super Kings teammates, Dhoni seldom updates on social media, which might explain why his Twitter blue tick was removed.
Dhoni’s last tweet was on January 8, and he also shared it on Instagram. Captain Cool was last seen on Facebook on April 30.
MS Dhoni, who retired from international cricket on August 15, 2020, now only plays in the Indian Premier League and is expected to return in September when the UAE leg of the IPL begins.
The schedule for the rest of the IPL has been released by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Over the course of 27 days, a total of 31 matches will be played.
On September 19, the Mumbai Indians will face CSK in the first match of the IPL 2021 season. On October 8, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals will play the last game of the league stage.
