American micro-blogging and social networking platform Twitter on Saturday removed the blue tick from legendary cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni's account. Dhoni last tweeted on January 8, 2021.

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. Twitter hasn't replied to ANI's query asking why it has been removed from Dhoni's account.

Having retired from international cricket on August 15, 2020, Dhoni now only plays in the Indian Premier League and will be back in action when the UAE leg of IPL resumes in September. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the schedule for the remainder of IPL.
