New Delhi: Former Indian cricket skipper MS Dhoni has become the latest celebrity to lose blue tick on Twitter account.
Blue tick is accorded to accounts of individuals/organisations to justify their Twitter handle.
Citing reason for the move, the microblogging site reportedly said that Dhoni’s Twitter handle was inactive for months and hence it has been deactivated.
Dhoni’s last tweet was in Jan 2021
The former Indian skipper posted his last tweet on January 8, 2021.
Twitter is yet to officially give any reason for this but some officials in the knowhow of it said that it was apparently due to its idle status for long time.
