Virat Kohli is the most popular cricketer of our times and there is no debating that. His social media following is proof enough of his status globally. Every move he makes is hence measured and that is why it was bizarre to see him like a photo of a South African influencer. The name of the influencer is LizLaz.
She is a German model. Similar to what happened in the case involving actress Avneet Kaur last year, Kohli's alleged interaction quickly went viral on social space triggering memes, jokes and bizarre speculations.
Kohli-Avneet REPEAT?
At the moment it cannot be confirmed if it was an algorithm error. There has been no clarification as yet from the cricketer's side. When the accidental incident with Avneet happened last year, Kohli had issued a clarification.
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."
Soon after Kohli's clarification, Avneet too broke silence over it. While addressing the buzz at the trailer launch of her film 'Love In Vietnam', Avneet smiled and said "May the love keep coming."
Kohli on RCB Duty
Kohli is currently featuring in the IPL as part of the Bengaluru franchise. RCB are the defending champions and they have already got their 2026 campaign off to a brilliant start winning four of their first five games. Kohli is an integral part of the RCB side and his form would be crucial for the fortunes of the side.
Kohli has been in good form, getting his side off to steady starts. Kohli would next be seen in action when RCB take on Delhi Capitals on April 18.
