Twitterati suggests India to 'boycott' World Cup as ICC says MS Dhoni to remove 'balidaan badge' from glove

Indian cricket fans on Friday expressed disappointment with ICC's decision of turning down BCCI's call to allow MS Dhoni wear the 'balidaan badge' sported gloves. Several Twitter users suggested Team India to boycott the ICC World Cup 2019. Soon after Indian wicket-keeper was seen wearing the gloves having army insignia on it in the opening match of World Cup against South Africa, the news has been making rounds around the World.

After ICC told Indian Cricket Team to withdraw this sign from Dhoni's gloves, BCCI intervened and asked the cricketing body to allow Dhoni to continue with it. However, they put down the request, saying it is against the 'regulations' of the council. Here is how Twitter reacted to the ICC's call.
