The post, from a fan page dedicated to actress Avneet Kaur, sparked wide speculation, memes, and even dragged Kohli's wife, Anushka Sharma, into the online chatter.

Putting the controversy to rest, Kohli took to Instagram Stories with a direct clarification. “I'd like to clarify that 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,” he wrote.

Kohli라이브 바카라 statement came after several users claimed they had spotted his verified Instagram handle among the likes on the post. While some fans dismissed it as an algorithm glitch or a social media manager라이브 바카라 error, others took the incident too far by tagging Anushka and stirring up unnecessary gossip.

The post in question has since been unliked and the buzz appears to be fading following Kohli라이브 바카라 clarification. His statement was widely appreciated for its maturity and for addressing the situation before it spiraled further.

Kohli, who is in fine form in IPL 2025, will return to action when RCB take on CSK in Bengaluru on Saturday. His team is currently second on the points table with seven wins in ten matches, level on points with Mumbai Indians but behind on Net Run Rate.

Kohli and Anushka, married since 2017, welcomed their second child, Akaay, in February 2024.
