Chandigarh, August 6

Former Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni has lost the coveted blue tick that marks a verified account on the microblogging website Twitter.

It’s still unclear why Dhoni, captain of the Chennai Super Kings team and one India’s most celebrated sport star, lost his blue tick. Dhoni is not an active user of Twitter and instead uses Instagram to share posts. Dhoni, who’d led India to their second World Cup victory in 2011— had even used Facebook’s Instagram to announce his retirement from cricket last August. His last tweet was some seven years ago.

Here are some hilarious reactions to the development.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
