A fresh social media moment involving Virat Kohli has gone viral during IPL 2026. A simple Instagram like has once again caught fans’ attention and created a lot of discussion online.
The incident quickly spread across social media platforms, with fans reacting in a mix of humor and curiosity.
What Happened on Instagram
According to screenshots shared online, Kohli’s Instagram account appeared to like a post featuring influencer LizLaz along with photographer Advait Vaidya.
What surprised many users was that Kohli does not follow the influencer, yet his name was visible in the like section. This led to speculation, with some people calling it a possible algorithm glitch.

Many users posted memes and jokes, linking it to similar past incidents. Some comments suggested that such things happen due to Instagram’s algorithm, while others joked that another explanation might be coming soon.
The situation remained light, with most fans treating it as harmless social media chatter.
Like Removed Later
After the screenshots went viral, some users claimed that the like was later removed from the post.
This only added more curiosity and jokes among fans. The post itself gained high engagement, with thousands of likes and comments, many mentioning Kohli.
Such situations often create confusion as posts and interactions change over time.
Similar Incident in the Past
This is not the first time Kohli has faced such a situation.
Last year, his account was seen liking a photo of Avneet Kaur, which also went viral. At that time, Kohli clarified that there was no intent behind it and suggested it could be due to an algorithm issue while browsing.
That past explanation is now being compared with the current incident.
No Official Statement Yet
So far, Kohli has not shared any statement about this latest situation.
