Kohli, Dhoni, Rohit All Lose Twitter Blue Tick. Here's What Happened

The cricketing trio of Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, and Rohit Sharma saw a big change in their Twitter profile on Friday morning, with all three of them losing the Blue Ticks adjacent to their profile names on the micro-blogging platform. Since Elon Musk has taken over Twitter, a number of changes have been made on the platform. Musk had earlier announced that the only way to retain the verified Blue Tick Mark on profiles is through a subscription of Twitter Blue. However, it looks like Dhoni, Rohit and Kohli among various other Twitter users haven't done so.

A few weeks ago, Twitter had announced that it would start removing the "Legacy Blue" Checkmarks from the profiles as it wants people to pay for verification ticks that were earlier allotted in a different manner.

The likes of Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, Sharma, and several other cricketing greats were still progressing with their respective "Legacy Blue" Checkmarks. Hence, on Friday morning, they all lost the Blue Ticks.

What is Twitter Blue?

Twitter Blue is a paid service by the Elon Musk-owned company. It doesn't just offer verified checkmarks on profiles upon subscription but also comes with a few other benefits.

Twitter Blue has been made available on both iOS and Android devices while those using Twitter's website can also buy it. The monthly subscription fee for iOS and Android users in India is Rs 900 while the fee has been kept lower at Rs 650 per month for the web.

Users can also subscribe to the premium service for an annual fee of Rs 6,800, which will cost approximately Rs 566 per month. However, this plan is only available on the web.

In the US, Twitter Blue can be subscribed for $11 per month on Android and iOS devices and for $8 on the web. The annual plan costs $84 in the US.

Before the company introduced its Twitter Blue service, the blue tick was given to authentic accounts of famous personalities, politicians, journalists, and public figures. Now, the checkmark can be bought by anyone who pays the subscription fee.

Besides the blue tick, Twitter Blue subscribers will get early access to features like edit tweet, bookmark folders, custom app icons, and NFT profile pictures. Such users will also be able to choose different colour themes for their app, prioritise their reply on tweets, and undo a tweet before it becomes visible to other users.

Twitter Blue subscribers get a longer character limit of 4,000 while the character limit for other users is 280. The paid subscription also allows users to upload longer videos of up to 60 minutes or have a size of up to 2 GB.

156.7 Kmph Sensation Awaits India Debut, Bangladesh Start Life After Shakib

Pace sensation Mayank Yadav is expected to unleash his raw speed while the absence of India's T20 regulars will provide another opportunity to the fringe players in the three-match series against Bangladesh, beginning here Sunday. Having consistently generated speed in excess of 150kmph in his maiden IPL earlier this year, Mayank had drawn the attention of the cricketing world before a side strain ruled him out of the tournament. Usually, one has to prove fitness in domestic cricket to be considered for national selection but the 22-year-old has been fast-tracked into the side considering his special talent. The series against Bangladesh will be a test of his fitness and temperament. It is yet to be figured if he can display the same accuracy and control that he exhibited in the IPL. Besides Mayank, fellow Delhi pacer Harshit Rana and all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy could also make their India debut over the course of the series. Nitish was picked for the Zimbabwe tour post the T...

PCB Not Happy With Pak Star Over Social Media Post On Babar Snub: Report

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is not pleased that Fakhar Zaman questioned the selection panel's decision to sideline Babar Azam from the Test side. The panel dropped former captain Babar Azam when they announced the squad for the remaining two Tests against England in Multan and Rawalpindi. Zaman took to X to question the decision, inviting the ire of the PCB. "The top board officials are not pleased with the tweet sent out by Fakhar and relevant persons are having a word with him about it," a well-informed PCB source said. "It's concerning to hear suggestions about dropping Babar Azam. India didn't bench Virat Kohli during his rough stretch between 2020 and 2023, when he averaged 19.33, 28.21, and 26.50, respectively. "If we are considering sidelining our premier batsman, arguably the best Pakistan has ever produced, it could send a deeply negative message across the team. There is still time to avoid pressing the panic button; we should focus on sa...

Gardner Shines Again As GG Register Six-Wicket Win Over UPW In WPL 2025

Skipper Ashleigh Gardner starred with both bat and ball, leading Gujarat Giants to a comprehensive six-wicket win over UP Warriorz in their Women's Premier League match in Vadodara on Sunday. Gardner (2/39) claimed two wickets and then scored a stylish 32-ball 52, her second consecutive fifty, as Gujarat registered their first win of the third edition of the tournament, following a loss in the opening game to Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Opting to bowl, Gujarat produced a clinical effort with young spinner Priya Mishra returning impressive figures of 4-0-25-3. Skipper Gardner, Deandra Dottin (2/34), and Kashvee Gautam (1/15) also played key roles in restricting UPW to 143 for nine. Chasing 144 to win, the Giants were reduced to 22 for 2 with opener Beth Mooney and Dayalan Hemalata back in the pavilion after UPW introduced spin at both ends. However, Gardner produced an inspired knock, adding 55 runs off 42 balls with Laura Wolvaardt (22) to resurrect the innings. Gardner struck t...
