Virat Kohli on Friday issued a statement on ‘mistakenly’ liking actor Avneet Kaur’s photo on Instagram. The post, featuring Kaur in a green crop top and printed wrap skirt, garnered significant attention after the cricketer allegedly liked and then unliked it. The interaction quickly went viral on social media, prompting various reactions from fans.
Netizens were quick to weigh in with memes, and jokingly attributed the action to his son, Akaay, and others playfully referencing his wife, Anushka Sharma, further reacting hilariously to this incident.
Kohli stated it was not intentional and likely caused by Instagram’s algorithm, adding no assumptions should be made. “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,” Kohli said.

One of the users said, “Akayy badmoshi krrah hai”, another remarked, “Birtthday wale din vo bhi”. “Virat Kohli ne bas Avneet Kaur ka pic like kiya, India ne usse Tinder samaj liya.😭 Its cruel world Anushka”, “Virat Kohli’s Instagram like on Avneet Kaur’s post got more attention than his IPL centuries 😂 Algorithm 1, Internet 0!”
