Netizens recall Avneet Kaur incident

While Liz is yet to react to Kohli's like on her pictures, the photographer thanked the cricketer. Sharing a screenshot of Instagram’s notification about Virat’s like, Advait Vaidya 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.. haha.. Thank you Goat.”

Meanwhile, Kohli's rare like on the pictures has gained mixed reactions from the internet. It reminded many of the time when Kohli's like was seen on Bollywood actor Avneet Kaur's pictures.

Back then, Kohli had clarified, “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. Thank you for your understanding.”

Referring to his old statement, a section of people are still teasing Virat Kohli for his ‘algorithm.’ Among them, a user jokingly wrote on X, “Virat Kohli has once again liked the post of an Insta female model. Now we know why he was dealing with a headache from the past 2 matches.”

“Kohli liked this post on Instagram. Another paragraph loading on algorithm,” added another.

One also said, “Another algorithm glitch from Virat Kohli. Mark Zuckerberg should resign now asap."

“Virat Kohli liked a 17-year-old girl Avneet Kaur’s post before. Today, he has liked another girl’s post. He has 2 kids & a beautiful wife still behaving like a retard. Anushka deserves better,” posted someone else.

In the comment section of the Instagram post, a different user wrote, “Relax guys, it’s algorithm.” “Galti sabse hoti h yaar (everybody makes mistakes),” a fan defended.

“Dislike kar diya (Virat Kohli disliked the pic),” claimed one more.

Meanwhile, he is yet to respond to the chatter.
