Sometimes it’s not a century, not a match — just a simple “like” that gets people talking. And once again, Virat Kohli has found himself trending for exactly that.
This time, the moment came from a photo posted by fashion photographer Advait Vaidya featuring German model Liz Laz. A clean, aesthetic golden-hour shot, nothing unusual. It had been sitting on Instagram since January, doing decent numbers.
Then suddenly… boom. Kohli’s like gets noticed.
And just like that, the internet did what it does best — turned it into a full meme fest.
Advait himself seemed genuinely surprised. He shared the notification on his story, clearly not expecting India’s biggest cricket star to casually tap that like button. His reaction was pretty real — part disbelief, part excitement. You could tell it wasn’t staged hype.
But social media? They had other plans.
Within hours, jokes started flying, and almost all of them pointed back to one thing — that previous incident. The time when Kohli had to publicly clarify after liking a fan page post related to Avneet Kaur. Back then, he blamed the “algorithm” and said it was accidental.
So naturally, people didn’t let this one go easy.
Comments started rolling in — some playful, some savage. A few joked that Anushka Sharma might need to step in again. Others said Kohli should just get a secret account at this point. And then there were those classic internet one-liners — blaming the algorithm again, dragging his son into the joke, just pure meme energy.
Meanwhile, let’s talk about Liz Laz for a second — because she’s suddenly in the spotlight here.
She’s not entirely unknown. Based in Germany, Liz is a content creator who mixes lifestyle, food, and music into her work. Her Instagram already has a solid following, and she’s collaborated with Indian photographers before. She’s also got an interesting background — part South African, part German, and holds a psychology degree.
But this viral moment? Definitely pushed her visibility way higher, especially among Indian audiences.
In the end, nothing serious happened. No controversy, no real issue. Just a like.
But when it comes from someone like Kohli, even the smallest action turns into a headline. That’s just the level of attention he carries now.
And honestly, at this point… even his scrolling activity isn’t safe from going viral.
