Mumbai team, which created history by winning the Dream11 IPL, recently joined the latest meme trend and mocked Twitter's new policy to point out fake news. This comes as US President Donald Trump has been on a Twitter melt for the past few days where he has constantly been pushing baseless claims of election fraud, however, the micro-blogging website is hunting his posts down and has been flagging them one after the another. His “disputed tweets” have become a common sight and are also the new fodder for memes. While joining the meme trend, the Mumbai team shared a photo of captain Rohit Sharma with a warning label, mimicking Twitter’s new policy.
The Mumbai team thoroughly dominated the Mumbai vs Delhi Dream11 IPL final, beating the Delhi outfit by five wickets. The Mumbai team is undoubtedly the most successful cricket team, however, for nearly a decade they have stayed victory-less in even years. While they won in the years 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019, this year, it was noted that they lifted the trophy in an even year. Reminding that they finally added an even year in their long list of victories, the team tweeted an image of Rohit Sharma chilling with this year’s trophy, with a caption mocking the Twitter’s “disputed claim” policy.
