Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will play their seventh match of the ongoing IPL on 22 April 2023. They will take on Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium. Currently, they are in the second spot of the table with four wins out of six games. But, ahead of this clash, the franchise dealt with a blow.

They lost the blue tick from their Twitter account. Seeing that, fans went crazy and shared their views on social media. The blue Verified badge or tick on Twitter shows the authenticity of an account. But now, users need to sign up for its paid subscription service Twitter Blue. So, it seemed that LSG have not subscribed to the service and as a result, they have lost the blue tick.  

Here is the shared tweet by the franchise:

LSG played the RR in their last game of this ongoing tournament. They defended a 155-run target and won the match by 10 runs. Marcus Stoinis won the Player of the Match award for his all-round performance. After the match, KL Rahul said: “At the 10-over mark, the message we sent out was that maybe 165 is a good total, so, let us try to get to 160. Did not have to set ourselves very high. They are a quality team, they have good bowlers. We fell 10 runs short maybe but we made it up with the ball in the end. 

“There was no dew and that was fair on both teams. (On how they arrived at a par score) We came in yesterday and we were thinking 180 is a par score. Knowing the batters they have, the mindset was to get 15 runs extra. When Boult bowled the first over, me and Kyle had a chat and we said that the ball was not coming on. We assessed it quite well but if there were a couple more partnerships in the middle, we could have gotten more,” LSG skipper further added.

Here is how fans have reacted to the social media of LSG after losing their authenticity:
