Virat Kohli’s Instagram ‘Like’ Sparks Reactions Over Influencer’s Photo
Incident on Social Media
Indian cricketer Virat Kohli is allegedly under scrutiny after liking a bold photo posted by German influencer LizLaz on Instagram. The ‘like’ has led to widespread discussions across social media platforms, with many speculating on the implications of this action.
In the post in question, LizLaz is seen in a powder blue backless halter mini dress, posing for the camera with a smile. Fans quickly noticed Kohli’s interaction, igniting a flurry of memes and comments online. A user on Reddit quipped, “Anushka will be very upset,” referring to Kohli’s wife, Anushka Sharma. Other commenters added humorous takes, with one stating, “Kohli liked this post on Instagram. Another paragraph loading on algorithm,” expressing disbelief at the situation.
Celebrity Reactions
Yuzvendra Chahal, a fellow cricketer, also joined in on the fun, leaving a comment under LizLaz’s post that read, “Algorithm 💀.” This comment adds to the playful banter surrounding Kohli’s supposed accidental action, highlighting the humorous undertones within the online cricket community.
Previous Controversy
This is not the first instance of controversy regarding Kohli’s interactions on social media. Last year, he faced similar scrutiny after liking a post from actress Avneet Kaur. At that time, Kohli issued a clarification attributing the like to an Instagram algorithm error. He stated, “I’d like to clarify that while clearing my feed, it appears the algorithm may have mistakenly registered an interaction. There was absolutely no intent behind it. I request that no unnecessary assumptions be made.” However, this explanation only seemed to exacerbate public interest in the matter.
Avneet Kaur later responded indirectly to the backlash, expressing her thoughts on receiving recognition from celebrities. She remarked, “May the love keep coming,” seemingly unfazed by the commentary surrounding her interaction with Kohli.
