The viral video comes days after Anushka Sharma’s birthday. Virat had shared a heartfelt birthday tribute to her.
But he soon entered the spotlight after social media users noticed he had liked bold pictures of Avneet Kaur wearing a green crop top and a printed wrap skirt.
Screenshots of the like spread across social media, leading to widespread discussion.
The like was soon removed and Virat issued a statement.
Taking to his Instagram Stories, Virat Kohli wrote:
“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.”
Despite his clarification, social media users continued to make fun of him.
Making fun of Virat’s response, one wrote:
“Kids: my account got hacked. Men: my PR agent accidentally liked a post. Legend: the algorithm mistakenly registered an interaction.”
Believing the ‘Like’ was not a mistake, another said:
“As a software engineer for 4 years, this is a completely senseless post!!
“An app like Instagram would never register an interaction mistakenly.
“Yeah, I mean, that’s Instagram, not someone’s computer science final project, lol.”
For Avneet Kaur, the moment ended up boosting her follower count by more than 500,000.
