In India, Virat Kohli is much more than a cricketer, and that truth surfaced once again when a sudden Instagram glitch shook the entire nation. When Kohli’s account briefly became inaccessible yesterday, concern rippled through fans across the country.
Within a few hours, Kohli’s account was restored, and fans finally breathed a sigh of relief. But amidst that, fans quickly turned their fire on Mark Zuckerberg, blaming him for the Instagram glitch.
Kohli's army unleashes wrath on Mark Zuckerberg
Coming to the Indian side as a youngster to become one of the main faces of the game, Virat Kohli walked a long way. For fans, a good Kohli day on the field meant a good day in life. As the former Indian captain continued showcasing brilliance on the 22 yards, he became much more than a hero to the fans.
The world witnessed fans’ love for the Indian superstar when a glitch hit Virat Kohli’s Instagram account. After January 29, his profile became unreachable, with searches showing only the post count or flashing the message “This page is not available. Fans became worried about whether the star deactivated his profile.
After that unwanted incident, Kohli’s fans bashed Mark Zuckerberg for that glitch. In Zuckerberg’s recent post, fans showcased their fry. In the comment section, a fan wrote, “Where is Virat Kohli’s account?” That is not just one, as a thousand others followed the same route.
Expressing anger, a fan asked, “What happened to his id - fix it now.” Another fan wrote, “King Kohli ki id sai majak nhi.” One comment grabbed attention as a fan gave a threat to him as he wrote, “World best atheletes Kohli account should be there till 3 o’clock remember it as a warning.”
The entire comment sedition of the post looks like a protest stage as the Indian fans went berserk on him. Amidst the glitch that had grabbed the attention.
Relief for fans as Kohli’s account returns to normal
The glitch didn’t last long as Virat Kohli’s Instagram account was restored. Fans breathed a sigh of relief when his posts and videos reappeared on the platform. The sudden disappearance of Kohli’s account spread panic among the fans.
Adding to that, Kohli’s brother, Vikas Kohli’s, Instagram account also vanished. This wasn’t the first time an Instagram glitch troubled the former Indian captain, as such errors have surfaced in recent months. A few times before, when Kohli liked Avneet Kaur’s picture due to a glitch, it became a massive talking point nationwide.
When will Kohli return to the cricket field?
As he stepped away from the Test and T20I format, fans waited long for a single glimpse of the star. After having a spectacular ODI series against New Zealand, there is still a long time left for Kohli’s arrival in India jersey. In July 2026, Team India will play an ODI series against England, and Kohli is all set to feature in that series.
But ahead of that, Virat Kohli is set to be back in cricket in IPL 2026. After winning the IPL trophy after a long wait for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the legend will come back in the cash-rich league once again.
