Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli is once again at the center of a social media storm not for his batting, but for a simple “like” on Instagram. Fans recently spotted Kohli’s interaction on a post featuring German influencer and model Liz Laz, sparking a massive wave of memes and nostalgia for a similar incident involving actor Avneet Kaur in 2025.
The buzz began when prominent Indian fashion photographer Advait Vaidya shared a notification on his Instagram story showing that Virat Kohli had liked a “golden hour” shot of Liz Laz. Advait, stunned by the interaction, shared a video thanking the “GOAT,” while Liz herself expressed shock at the high-profile engagement.
The “Algorithm” Deja Vu
The internet was quick to recall the 2025 Avneet Kaur episode, where Kohli had to issue a formal clarification after accidentally liking a photo of the actress. At the time, he shared an Instagram story stating:
“It appears the algorithm may have mistakenly registered an interaction… there was absolutely no intent behind it.”
Fans have turned the current situation into a meme fest, with many jokingly warning Kohli to hide his phone from his wife, Anushka Sharma, or his young son, Akaay. Comments like “Algorithm strikes again!” and “Akaay is liking random pictures again” have taken over social media platforms.
Who is Liz Laz?
For those wondering about the face behind the viral “like,” Liz Laz (also known as Jennifer) is a German-South African travel vlogger, singer, and influencer.
- Background: She holds a Master’s degree in Psychology.
- Global Presence: Based in Germany, she is fluent in German, English, and Dutch, and has gained a massive following in India for her cultural vlogs and music.
- Viral Fame: She became a household name in the Indian digital space after her song “Samosa Samosa” went viral. She is frequently seen collaborating with Indian artists and exploring local culture in cities like Bengaluru and Mumbai.
While Kohli currently holds the Orange Cap in IPL 2026, leading the tournament with 228 runs for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), it seems his off-field digital “footwork” is what has the internet talking today.
