A fresh social media storm has put Virat Kohli in the spotlight again. This time, fans noticed his verified Instagram account liking bold photos posted by German influencer LizLaz (Lizzalazz). The moment quickly went viral because Kohli does not even follow her.
Netizens REACT To Virat Kohli Liking German Influencer’s Photo
The viral post shows LizLaz in a blue backless halter dress. Soon, screenshots spread across social media. Users turned the incident into a meme fest. Many even tagged Anushka Sharma and joked about her reaction. Some also suggested Kohli should create a “private ID” for browsing.
Social media was flooded with reactions. Read some user comments below
“@virat.kohli bhai ek fake account bana lo.”
“Anushka is gonna get upset again.”
“One like doesn’t mean that he is gonna cheat or something.”
“Tum saalo divorce karwa ke manoge.”
“Ab phr se algorithm pe blame jaega. VK nahi sudhrega.”
“Successor of Yuzi.”
This is not the first time such a situation has happened. In 2025, Kohli faced a similar issue linked to Avneet Kaur. At that time, he explained it as a “mistakenly registered interaction” caused by the algorithm.
Now, that explanation has become a running joke online. Adding to the fun, Yuzvendra Chahal commented “Algorithm” on the same post. The buzz has also made LizLaz very popular among Indian users overnight.
So, did Virat Kohli actually like the post, or was it a mistake? There is no official response from Kohli yet. However, such incidents are usually caused by simple reasons. Most of the time, it is just an accidental tap while scrolling. Instagram reacts instantly, so even a small touch can register as a like. Because Kohli does not follow the influencer, the activity caught more attention. This made the situation look bigger than it might actually be.
Can Instagram Like Posts Automatically?
Many users believe Instagram can like posts on its own. But that is not true. Instagram does not like posts automatically. A like only happens when a user taps the heart icon or double-taps a post.
Here are some common reasons behind “mystery likes”:
- Accidental double-tap: While scrolling fast, users may tap the screen without realising it.
- Quick unlike: If you like and immediately unlike a post, the notification may disappear.
- Delay in alerts: Sometimes notifications are not sent instantly, so the other person may not notice.
- External access: In rare cases, third-party apps or account issues can cause unusual activity.
So, if a like appears without you remembering it, it is usually due to a quick or accidental action—not because Instagram is doing it on its own.
