Virat Kohli found himself trending again for off-field reasons after a social media interaction sparked a wave of reactions online. Liking the South African influencer’s photo post has quickly turned into a full-blown meme fest, with fans coming up with explanations for his famous “algorithm”.
The incident in which Kohli liked an old post featuring influencer LizLaz and photographer Advait Vaidya drew attention because he did not follow the influencer. Within minutes, screenshots started circulating, turning a small event into a viral moment. Kohli’s account liked a post by influencer, sparkimg memes.
“Kohli liked this post on Instagram. The next paragraph is being loaded on the algorithm,” one fan joked online.
“It’s just an algorithm bug guys and it happens to everyone. Sometimes I see posts on my Insta that I never like,” another user wrote, echoing Kohli’s previous explanation.
Reactions quickly flooded social media, with fans turning the moment into humor rather than controversy. The phrase “the algorithm registered another interaction” became a common joke as users revisited Kohli’s earlier explanation from a similar incident.
Despite the noise off the field, Kohli continues to maintain his form for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in IPL 2026.

This is not the first time Kohli’s social media activity has grabbed headlines.
In 2025, He “liked” a post on a fan page dedicated to Bollywood actress and influencer Avneet Kaurwhich led to a similar wave of speculation and online chatter. At the time, Kohli clarified that it was an accidental interaction, attributing it to an algorithm problem while cleaning up his Instagram feed.
