Recently, fans spotted that the former Indian skipper had liked an Instagram post by German influencer LizLaz. Well, his simple like has grabbed eyeballs yet again, and fans cannot stop talking about it online.
Within minutes, screenshots began circulating on social media, pushing the travel creator onto trending lists across India. Now, Kohli’s widely referenced “algorithm” explanation from his previous social media incident is also being joked about again.
Who is LizLaz?
LizLaz, whose real name is Jennifer, is a German–South African travel vlogger, singer and digital creator. Based in Germany, she has built a steadily growing fanbase through cultural storytelling and travel content that frequently highlights India.
Her Instagram bio identifies her as a vlogger and singer who holds a master’s degree in Psychology. Over the past few years, she has gained attention for engaging videos exploring Indian cities and culture.

Another widely shared video showed her humorous take on navigating Bengaluru’s famously slow traffic. The relatable clip struck a chord with viewers and boosted her popularity further. She has also hosted podcast conversations comparing lifestyle differences between India and Germany, which resonated with global audiences curious about cross-cultural experiences.
Why is Virat Kohli trending again?
The online chatter began after fans noticed that Virat Kohli had apparently liked an older Instagram post featuring LizLaz and photographer Advait Vaidya. While the action itself was small, the internet quickly turned it into a meme storm.
The situation reminded fans of a previous incident involving influencer Avneet Kaur, after which Virat publicly addressed the situation. At the time, he wrote: “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.”
Following the LizLaz moment, social media users revived that explanation with humour. One fan joked, “Kohli liked this post on Instagram. Another paragraph loading on the algorithm.” Another comment read, “Algorithm (skull emoji).”
