Virat Kohli is once again trending on social media after a fresh online controversy. The star batter has come under attention for allegedly liking a post from a model’s Instagram account. This comes after a similar incident in 2025, when Kohli had accidentally liked a picture of influencer Avneet Kaur.
This time, fans noticed a like from Kohli’s profile on the account of model LizLaz. Screenshots of the activity quickly spread across platforms. Within minutes, the situation became a major topic of discussion online.
Many users believe it could be another algorithm glitch. This was the same reason given during the previous incident. However, some fans are waiting to see if Kohli will respond again.
