The ‘like’ button on Instagram has once again posed a problem for Virat Kohli. The Indian cricketer allegedly liked German influencer LizLaz’s bold photos on the platform. However, it remains unclear if Virat liked the photo accidentally or if it was an algorithm glitch.
Did Virat Kohli like LizLaz’s photos?
In the mentioned photo, LizLaz is seen wearing a powder blue backless halter mini dress. She is seen striking various poses in the Instagram post and is also smiling for the camera. Fans spotted how Virat had liked the photo, and therefore a meme fest started on the internet. A Reddit user commented on the update and joked, “Anushka will be very upset.” Another comment read, “Kohli liked this post on Instagram. Another paragraph loading on algorithm.” One more comment read, “I would not have tolerated this Anushka.”
Meanwhile, Yuzvendra Chahal also joked in the comment section of LizLaz’s post. He wrote, “Algorithm 💀”

Virat Kohli and Avneet Kaur controversy
A similar controversy took place last year when fans noticed that Virat had ‘liked’ one of Avneet Kaur’s Instagram posts. However, at that time, Virat Kohli had issued a clarification and blamed Instagram’s algorithm for the same. He wrote, “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.” However, Virat’s explanation only added fuel to the fire.
Avneet had also subtly reacted to the controversy. When she was asked about receiving appreciation from big names online, she had said, “May the love keep coming.”
