Virat Kohli sparks buzz by liking Instagram influencer’s photo
Virat Kohli became a trending topic again, but not for cricket. A ‘like’ on a social media post featuring German-South African influencer LizLaz and photographer Advait Vaidya quickly went viral, sparking a wave of memes. Fans playfully referenced Kohli’s previous “algorithm” explanation, turning the moment into humour rather than controversy.
The post drew attention because Kohli doesn’t follow the influencer, making the interaction surprising. Screenshots circulated rapidly, escalating a small action into an online sensation. The phrase “algorithm registered another interaction” became a running joke, recalling a similar incident from the past.
“Kohli liked this post on Instagram. Another paragraph loading on the algorithm,” one fan joked online.
“It is just an algorithm glitch guys & it happens with everyone. Sometimes, I see posts in my Insta that I never like,” Fans responded, recalling Kohli’s earlier explanation.
Despite the off-field buzz, Kohli remains in excellent form for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in IPL 2026. Against Lucknow Super Giants, he scored 49 off 34 balls, helping RCB win by five wickets. The innings also propelled him to the top of the season’s run charts and allowed him to surpass KL Rahul as the Indian opener with the most sixes in IPL history.

Virat Kohli Sparks Memes with Another Social Media “Algorithm” Slip
This is not Kohli’s first social media headline of this nature. In 2025, he “liked” a fan post about Bollywood actress Avneet Kaur, which triggered a similar wave of online speculation. At that time, he clarified it was an accidental action caused by Instagram’s algorithm while managing his feed.
Fans were quick to make the connection, turning this latest episode into another meme-worthy moment. The repeated pattern has added a humorous twist to Kohli’s off-field persona, proving that even minor social media interactions can become viral.
