Virat Kohli Ignites Social Media Frenzy Over Alleged Instagram Like on Influencer's Post
Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli has once again found himself at the epicenter of a viral social media storm. On Thursday night, users across platforms like Reddit and Instagram claimed that the cricketer had liked a bold photograph posted by German influencer Lizlaz on Instagram. This alleged interaction quickly went viral, setting off a wave of memes, jokes, and widespread speculation online.
Internet Erupts with Memes and Unsolicited Advice for 'Cheeku Bhai'
Whether Virat Kohli's like was intentional, accidental, or the result of an algorithm error remains unclear, but that did not stop the internet from having its fun. Reddit users were quick to pile on with humorous comments and unsolicited advice for the cricketer, often referencing his nickname 'Cheeku'.
- One user quipped, "Anushka will be very upset."
- Another suggested Kohli take a more discreet route, "Cheeku bhai private id bnalo.."
- A third user was more measured, dismissing the episode as a "mistakenly registered interaction."
Adding to the buzz, fellow cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal commented on the post with the word "Algorithm," further fueling discussions about potential technical glitches. A Reddit post humorously noted, "Anushka ke pati ka algorithm is wilding. Mark Zuckerberg should resign imo."
Echoes of the Past: The Avneet Kaur Episode Resurfaces
This incident draws striking parallels to a similar controversy from last year, when fans noticed Virat Kohli had liked one of actress Avneet Kaur's Instagram posts. The internet erupted in memes at that time, prompting Kohli to issue a public clarification. He wrote: "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, his statement only intensified the trolling. Avneet Kaur herself addressed the buzz at the trailer launch of her film 'Love In Vietnam'. When asked about receiving attention from big names online, she smiled and said, "May the love keep coming."
