Virat Kohli is back in the middle of a social media storm, this time over a \u2018like\u2019 on a post by German influencer LizLaz. The interaction, which dates back to January 30, went unnoticed initially before screenshots surfaced and spread quickly online.<\/p>\n
Yuzvendra Chahal commented \u201cAlgorithm\u201d on the post but later deleted it.<\/p>\n
The reaction followed a familiar pattern. Fans filled comment sections with jokes, tagging Anushka Sharma and making light of the situation. References to algorithms, accidental taps and playful blame games dominated the conversation. Kohli has not responded so far.<\/p>\n
This is not new territory. In 2025, Kohli had publicly clarified a similar incident involving Avneet Kaur. He had then said the interaction was unintentional and possibly triggered while clearing his feed, asking fans not to read into it.<\/p>\n
That earlier explanation has now resurfaced, with many wondering if this instance will be addressed in a similar way. For now, there is no official comment.<\/p>\n
What stands out again is how quickly a minor digital action turns into a wider talking point. Screenshots circulate, assumptions follow, and humour takes over. It reflects the space Kohli occupies, where even routine online activity draws attention.<\/p>\n
Whether accidental or deliberate is beside the point for most. The episode has already played out as another short-lived internet moment, driven more by reaction than fact.<\/p>\n
In the ongoing IPL, Virat Kohli has scored 228 runs in five matches this season, averaging 57.00 at a strike rate of 158.33. His tally includes 25 fours and eight sixes, as Royal Challengers Bengaluru sit second on the points table.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
