In the world of social media, a single tap on the screen can travel faster than the speed of light. This week, the digital world, especially the Indian cricket fandom, went into a frenzy over a simple Instagram notification. The center of this viral storm? A talented German-South African creator known as LizLaz who became a viral sensation in India after the global cricket star. Virat Kohli allegedly “liked” one of her Instagram photos.
The uproar started when sharp-eyed netizens spotted Kohli’s verified account ‘liking’ LizLaz’s stunning photo shoot posted by popular photographer Advait Vaidya. In this era of social media takeover, nothing stays a secret for long. Since Kohli is one of the most followed athletes on the planet and rarely interacts with accounts he doesn’t follow, the ‘like’ immediately sparked a wave of memes, screenshots and speculation. While many fans dismiss it as a simple appreciation for the art or a casual “fat-finger” swipe, the sheer volume of search traffic made LizLaz an overnight household name in India.
The moment sparked a new meme storm with fans reminiscing about the 2025 episode when Kohli liked the post. Avneet Kaur and later released a statement attributing it to “interaction with a random algorithm.”
