Star Indian cricketer Virat Kohli found himself unexpectedly in the spotlight for reasons beyond cricket this week. A social media frenzy erupted after fans spotted his verified Instagram account among the likes on a fan page post featuring actress Avneet Kaur. The post, shared on May 2, was quick to trend, prompting a wave of speculation, memes, and even comments tagging his wife, Anushka Sharma.
The incident stirred heated online conversations, with fans divided over whether the 'like' was a simple accident or something more deliberate. However, Kohli was quick to shut down the rumours and offer clarification.
Taking to Instagram Stories, the legendary batter wrote:
“I'd like to clarify that while clearing my feed, 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.”
His dignified response was praised by fans, with many calling for the conversation to return to where it truly matters — on the cricket field.
