Guwahati: Virat Kohli, widely regarded as one of the most popular cricketers of the modern era, has once again found himself at the center of social media chatter—this time over an unexpected online interaction. The controversy erupted after Kohli allegedly liked a photo of LizLaz, a German model and influencer. The activity quickly went viral across platforms, sparking memes, jokes, and widespread speculation among fans. However, it remains unclear whether the interaction was intentional or the result of an algorithmic glitch, as no official clarification has yet been issued by Kohli.

The incident has drawn comparisons to a similar episode last year involving actress Avneet Kaur. At the time, Kohli had promptly addressed the situation, attributing the interaction to a possible algorithm error while clearing his feed and urging fans not to make unnecessary assumptions. Avneet Kaur later responded lightheartedly during a film event, adding to the online buzz. Despite the off-field distraction, Kohli continues to focus on cricket. He is currently representing Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the ongoing Indian Premier League season. The defending champions have made a strong start to their 2026 campaign, winning four of their first five matches.
Kohli, a key figure in the RCB lineup, has been in solid form, providing consistent starts at the top of the order. His performance remains crucial to the team’s title defense. RCB are set to face Delhi Capitals on April 18, where all eyes will once again be on Kohli—both for his batting and any further developments off the field.
