Amid the growing buzz, Kohli took to Instagram Stories to issue a brief but direct statement, clarifying the situation and urging fans not to jump to conclusions.
The ‘like’ in question has since disappeared, but the incident had already gone viral by then. While some users dismissed it as a harmless technical glitch or managerial error, others fuelled speculation, prompting Kohli’s response.
The clarification came just a day after Kohli posted a birthday message for Anushka.
On the cricketing front, Kohli is currently in top form with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the 2025 Indian Premier League. With seven wins in 10 matches, the RCB sit second on the points table, tied with Mumbai Indians on points but behind on Net Run Rate.
Kohli and his team are set to face Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Saturday night in Bengaluru.
