  • Virat Kohli liked a German vlogger’s Instagram post.
  • The screenshot of the interaction quickly went viral online.
  • This follows a similar incident attributed to the algorithm.
  • Users humorously speculated about the reason for the ‘like’.

Virat Kohli appears to have acted quietly after “liking” an Instagram post shared by a German vlogger. The swift response comes after a screenshot of his “like” on the post went viral, with many users referencing his earlier “algorithm” explanation in the comments section of the influencer’s picture. However, instead of offering another clarification this time, Kohli seems to have handled the situation differently by removing the “like,” which no longer appears on the post. The last time a similar incident occurred, when he liked an actor’s picture, he had attributed it to Instagram’s algorithm.

How Did Social Media Users React?

A fourth asked, “Why Kohli bhai why?” 

Many even tagged Anushka Sharma and asked her to take a look at it.
