The digital world is buzzing after India’s spin wizard Yuzvendra Chahal added a hilarious chapter to the ongoing social media saga involving Virat Kohli. The controversy began when hawk-eyed fans noticed Kohli “liking” a January post by LizLaz, a German-South African influencer and prominent Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) supporter.

In a move that quickly went viral on Sunday, April 19, 2026, Chahal dropped a single-word comment “Algorithm” on the post, a playful jab that fans immediately recognized as a callback to Kohli’s 2025 explanation of an “algorithm glitch” during a similar incident.

The influencer, LizLaz, recently broke her silence on the matter, expressing a mix of excitement and sympathy for the Indian batting legend. Speaking to the media, she admitted that while she was thrilled to receive a like from Kohli, she felt “a bit sorry for him” after he subsequently unliked the post once it became a national news story. “How did people notice? How did they make it news? That was probably not his intention,” she told reporters. Despite the awkwardness, the “viral like” has skyrocketed her follower count and opened doors for professional opportunities in India.

The timing of this light-hearted banter couldn’t be more perfect, as it comes during the high-stakes IPL 2026 season. Chahal, known for his witty social media presence and “Chahal TV” antics, has once again proven why he is the king of cricket Twitter (X). While Kohli appears to have unliked the photo and Chahal’s comment has since vanished, screenshots of the exchange continue to circulate, providing fans a much-needed laugh amidst the intense competition on the field.
