What was the Instagram incident involving Virat Kohli?
A few days earlier, fans noticed something unusual on Instagram. A post from a fan page featuring Avneet Kaur received a like from Virat Kohli’s official handle. The activity caught on quickly and went viral.
Virat Kohli soon put out a statement to clear the air. In an Instagram story, he said that while he was going through his feed, the platform might have mistakenly picked up a like from his end. He called it an algorithm glitch.
He also requested people not to make unnecessary assumptions and to understand that it wasn’t deliberate.
