Virat Kohli’s Instagram activity has triggered another social media meme fest after the RCB star allegedly liked a photo on South African model LizLaz’s Instagram account.
Screenshots of the ‘like’ circulated within seconds, turning a small action into a viral moment. Fans immediately flooded social media with jokes about it being another “algorithm” issue.
2025 Avneet Kaur Incident Repeats

This isn’t the first time Virat Kohli has faced a ‘like’ controversy. In 2025, he mistakenly liked a photo of Indian model and influencer Avneet Kaur. That incident became a massive topic of debate among fans on social media. Consequently, Kohli had to issue a public clarification.
The RCB stalwart 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. Thank you for your understanding.”
Social Media Erupts With ‘Algorithm’ Jokes
After the latest ‘like’ surfaced, fans refused to keep calm. Moreover, they mocked the entire situation with hilarious memes and comments.
“Chain se like bhi ni krne deta ye samaaj,” one fan wrote on Instagram, highlighting the scrutiny celebrities face. Another fan joked, “Relax guys, it’s algorithm,” referring to Kohli’s previous explanation.
Many fans now expect Kohli to issue another similar statement. They anticipate he will blame the algorithm once again rather than admitting intentional activity.
Kohli’s On-Field Form Remains Strong
Meanwhile, Kohli’s performance for Royal Challengers Bengaluru remains impressive this IPL 2026 season. In the previous match against Lucknow Super Giants, he played as an Impact Player for the first time in his career.
He scored 49 runs, falling just one short of a half-century. Nevertheless, his contribution helped RCB secure an easy victory over LSG. The opening batter has looked in sublime touch throughout the season.
Despite off-field social media distractions, Kohli continues delivering strong performances for the defending IPL champions.
