Virat Kohli, Avneet Kaur, And The Trending Meme

What started as a simple Instagram like has now turned into a full-blown meme fest on the internet. Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli recently found himself at the centre of a social media whirlwind after reportedly liking a fan page photo of actress Avneet Kaur on Instagram.

The buzz began when fans noticed the unexpected like. It didn’t take long for screenshots to flood social media, with people tagging Kohli’s wife, actress Anushka Sharma, and even dragging Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg into the mix. But before the gossip could spiral further, the cricketer issued a clarification.

In a story posted to his Instagram, Kohli wrote: “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.”

But rather than calming the chaos, his choice of words—especially “the algorithm may have mistakenly registered an interaction”—sparked a new wave of hilarious memes and reactions on X.

From mock corporate lingo to sarcastic software engineer critiques, users didn’t hold back:

• “Kids: my account got hacked. Men: my PR agent liked it. Legend: the algorithm did it.”

• “Instagram is not your college coding project, Virat!”

• “This is why you need corporate training—algorithmic alibis are the future.”

Memes using movie dialogues, viral template formats, and even AI-generated content flooded timelines, turning the phrase into the internet’s latest meme trend.

Since the like has now vanished and Virat Kohli has issued a clarification, social media users are having a field day with jokes—many cheekily suggesting that wife Anushka Sharma might have spotted it first and the ripples continue across the web.
