In April 2025, Virat Kohli found himself at the centre of an unexpected online storm after his verified Instagram account briefly “liked” a post from Avneet Kaur’s fan page.
Within hours, memes flooded timelines and speculation ran wild, forcing Kohli to issue a statement blaming the accidental “like” on a tech glitch.
A few months down the line, the buzz is yet to be fizzled out. A Facebook post by Aamir Khan describes: Avneet Kaur Met Virat Kohli in London.
A similar Facebook post has also shared the viral image in London. You can view the post here.
