Virat Kohli’s fans were in a state of panic when they could not find their favourite cricketer’s Instagram profile in the late hours of 29th January. Worrying that he may have taken a step back from the social media platform, fans took the internet by storm. However, to their relief, Virat’s profile was visible once again on the morning of 30th January.
Amidst all this, Virat Kohli’s sister, Bhawna Kohli Dhingra, has now shared a cryptic message on her Instagram story, leading to fans believing there might be more to the situation than it appears.
Virat Kohli’s sister’s cryptic message adds to the speculations
"Never compare your timing with others. Every flower has its own time to bloom," she wrote in her first story. Her second story read, “When you are in your own lane, there is no traffic.”
The third story added to the speculations as she spoke about feeling nervous about doing something. “Someone told me that when they feel nervous about doing something & their heart starts beating really fast, that they call it their 'Inner Applause’ because their body is cheering them on, and I think that's the cutest narrative adjustment ever,” read the story.

Virat Kohli’s Instagram fiasco created panic among fans
When the fans found out that the former Indian captain’s account was not visible, they went into instant panic mode, with many believing that he may have taken a detox break from social media.
Many fans even flooded his wife, Anushka Sharma’s, messages with concern, asking if he had actually deleted his account or if it was just a glitch on Instagram. Some fans even speculated that his account had been hacked.
Despite the profile getting back online, some fans continued to question why it had disappeared for a brief period. The lack of any update from Kohli or his management led to his sister’s stories turning heads.
Earlier in 2025, Kohli had also made a conscious decision to reset his digital presence and had deleted a lot of his promotional posts on the platform. The reason behind this was to bring more spotlight to personal moments, family, and training sessions.
Kohli to return to the field during IPL 2026
In the meantime, Virat Kohli will return to the field during the IPL 2026 in March. The 37-year-old, along with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, will look to retain their title after claiming it for the first time in 2026.
The Men in Red, Blue, and Gold ended their long drought of trophies after nearly 18 years with their first-ever title under the leadership of Rajat Patidar. And now, they have strengthened their squad depth even further during the IPL player auction as they look to defend their title.
However, the competition this season will be massive as the other nine teams in the competition are looking to do well in the upcoming season as well.
