Virat Kohli’s algorithm moment returns as new “like” goes viral
Indian legendary cricketer Virat Kohli is currently busy on the field due to the Indian Premier League, but off the field, he has once again made headlines for an Instagram “like.”
Fans have noticed the activity and are now talking about it widely on social media. Many are also poking fun at his earlier explanation regarding a similar incident in the past.
In 2025, the 37-year-old batsman came under the radar after he liked a bold photo of Indian actress Avneet Kaur.
The screenshots of this online activity went viral on social media in no time, resulting in an explanation from the right-handed batter, but it benefited the actress in terms of followers on Instagram, which increased rapidly.

At that time, in his response, Virat put the responsibility on Instagram’s algorithm, saying, “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.”
However, recently another like from his account came into notice, which dated back to January 30 this year, and this time it was on a German vlogger LizLaz’s bold photo.

As soon as netizens noticed it, hilarious responses started pouring in.
Someone commented “Akaay ke haath se phone lo”, while someone tagged Anushka Sharma, Virat’s wife, and wrote, “Bhabhiji unke phone se galti se main kr diya tha”. Fans did not miss out on the algorithm references, “Bhaii is algorithm ka kuchh karna pdega” read another comment.
The cricketer has not yet reacted to the viral news.
Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli first met in 2013 while shooting for a television commercial. The two fell in love with each other but kept their relationship under wraps.
In 2017, they tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Italy. The couple welcomed their first child, a baby girl in January 2021 and named her Vamika. Later in February 2024, they became proud parents to a baby boy and named in Akaay.
