Mumbai Team India’s star batsman and social media king Virat Kohli is once again in the headlines, but this time the reason is not his bat but his ‘like’. Fans who keep a close eye on social media have noticed that Virat has liked an old photo of a German influencer. Since then, the market of memes and discussions has become hot on the internet. The interesting thing is that last year also there was a controversy over liking the photo of actress Avneet Kaur, then Virat had shrugged it off by calling it an ‘algorithm glitch’. Now fans are asking – Has Kohli’s algorithm gone wrong again? Whose photo did Virat like? This time Virat Kohli has liked a photo of popular German-South African influencer and vlogger LizLaz. This post is about 3 months old (January 30), in which Liz Laz is seen in a beautiful halter neck dress of powder blue color. As soon as the fans noticed this ‘like’, it went viral on every platform of social media. Users are now making funny comments on this. LizLaz had told Virat as her ‘favourite’. The twist in this story came when people remembered the old interview of LizLaz. In an interview given to a media house in March, when Liz Laz was asked about his favorite Indian cricketer, he took the name of Virat Kohli without hesitation. Now Virat’s liking of her photo seems like ‘mutual admiration’ to the fans. Flood of memes on social media: “What will Anushka Bhabhi say now?” Social media users are having a lot of fun on this like of Virat: One user wrote, “It seems that Virat Bhai has also become a fan of Liz.” Another quipped, “This time also will the blame for the like be put on the algorithm?” While some fans Taking Anushka Sharma’s name, he wrote, “Virat Bhai is no longer well, how will Anushka answer Bhabhi?” border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% – 2px); width:calc(100% – 2px);”>
