In the world of social media, nothing escapes the eagle eyes of the internet – especially when it involves the ‘GOAT’ of Indian cricket, Virat Kohli. The former Indian captain has once again found himself at the centre of a viral storm, not for a century on the field, but for a simple double-tap on Instagram. The recipient of the like? German vlogger LizLaz. The buzz began recently when social media users noticed Virat Kohli’s interaction on a post featuring LizLaz, which was shared jointly with celebrity photographer Advait Vaidya.

While the photoshoot – featuring Liz in a stunning powder blue backless halter mini dress during golden hour – was originally posted back in January, the notification of Virat Kohli’s interaction recently surfaced, sending the internet into an immediate meltdown.
Advait Vaidya, who has worked with some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry, couldn’t hide his excitement. Sharing a screenshot of the same, he wrote, “How does one react to this.. When the Goat, @virat.kohli.. Likes your Post.. me and @lizlaz_tv are still rubbing our eyes to check if it's actually happening.”

For fans and followers, this incident felt like a classic case of déjà vu. The internet was quick to recall the Avneet Kaur episode of 2025. Last year, Virat sparked a similar controversy when he liked a picture of actress Avneet Kaur, only to later issue a formal clarification on his Instagram Stories.

In that statement, he famously attributed the interaction to a technical glitch, stating, “While clearing my feed, it appears the algorithm may have mistakenly registered an interaction. There was absolutely no intent behind it.”
Naturally, the memes have written themselves this time around. One user on X (formerly Twitter) joked, “Kohli liked this post on Instagram. Another paragraph loading on algorithm,” while others tagged his wife, actress Anushka Sharma, with humorous warnings. Some fans even joked that their young son, Akaay, might be the one handling the phone, with one comment reading, “Anushka Sharma, take this phone from Akaay. He is liking random pictures again.”
Who is LizLaz?
As the like went viral, curiosity about LizLaz reached a fever pitch. LizLaz, who describes herself as a “Vlogger, Foodie, and Singer,” is a German-South African creator with a Master’s degree in Psychology. She has already established a significant footprint in India, thanks to her viral song ‘Samosa Samosa’ and her frequent travels to cities like Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Delhi. Fluent in German, English, and Dutch, she has often been seen interacting with locals in regional Indian languages, making her a familiar face to many desi netizens.
As the chatter intensified and the news hit major headlines, some users claimed that Virat Kohli had eventually un-liked the post to curb the growing speculation. However, the screenshots had already done their work, cementing the moment in the hall of viral fame. Whether it was another genuine algorithmic mishap or a casual scroll through an influencer's feed, one thing is certain: when Virat Kohli taps his screen, the whole world notices.
Virat Kohli is yet to issue a statement regarding the latest interaction, leaving fans to wonder if another clarification is on the horizon.
