A brief social media interaction has once again placed Virat Kohli at the center of online chatter, after fans spotted a “like” from his Instagram account on a post by German influencer LizLaz—only for it to disappear shortly after.
What might have otherwise gone unnoticed quickly escalated into a viral moment, with screenshots spreading rapidly and sparking speculation across platforms. The incident drew comparisons to a similar episode in 2025 involving Avneet Kaur, when a like from Kohli’s account had also triggered widespread discussion.
LizLaz Reacts to Viral Attention
Speaking about the incident, LizLaz admitted she had mixed feelings about the sudden attention. While initially excited, she later felt uneasy seeing the situation spiral into headline news.
She shared that she only learned about the interaction through media reports and messages flooding her inbox. According to her, the scale of the reaction was unexpected, especially for something she believes may not have been intentional. Despite the confusion, she expressed appreciation for the support and attention she received.
LizLaz also mentioned that she felt some sympathy for Kohli, noting that the situation appeared to have been blown out of proportion. She suggested that the incident likely carried no deeper meaning but still became a major talking point online.
Connection to RCB and Kohli’s Popularity
Amid the buzz, an older video of LizLaz resurfaced in which she spoke about supporting the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. She explained that her interest in the team began during last year’s IPL season while watching matches with friends from Bengaluru.
Like many fans of the franchise, she highlighted Kohli as one of the main reasons for her support, calling him an exciting player to watch.
A Repeat of Past Social Media Buzz
This isn’t the first time Kohli’s online activity has drawn scrutiny. In 2025, a similar situation arose when his account reportedly liked a post by Avneet Kaur. At the time, Kohli issued a clarification, attributing the interaction to a possible algorithmic glitch while managing his feed and urged people not to make unnecessary assumptions.
Personal Life Remains in Focus
Beyond social media speculation, Kohli continues to balance his professional and personal life. He is married to Anushka Sharma, and the couple have two children, Vamika and Akaay.
While the latest incident may fade quickly, it once again highlights how even minor online actions by high-profile figures like Kohli can rapidly turn into major conversations in the digital age.
