Twitter recently started the process of removing ‘legacy verified ticks’ from different accounts after launching their paid subscription called ‘Twitter Blue’. In the process, various celebrities lost their ‘verified status’ on the microblogging platform and among them is Sachin Tendulkar. Recently, a fan asked the Master Blaster about this change in his Twitter profile and also received a witty reply from the cricketer.
