Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli has sparked massive online speculation after his official Instagram account was suddenly deactivated, leaving millions of fans searching for answers.
Early Friday morning, users attempting to access Kohli’s verified Instagram handle @virat.kohli, which had more than 274 million followers, were greeted with error messages such as “User not found” or “This page isn’t available.” Within hours, the unexpected disappearance became a trending topic across social media platforms.
Fans Left Confused as Kohli Goes Silent Online
The abrupt deactivation came without any prior indication or announcement, intensifying curiosity among fans and followers. Screenshots of the missing profile quickly circulated on X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and fan forums, with many questioning whether the move was intentional, technical, or linked to a larger decision.
Despite the Instagram blackout, Kohli’s X account remains active, though the cricketer has not issued any clarification so far.
Perfect Timing Adds to the Mystery
What has further deepened the intrigue is the timing of the development. Kohli has been enjoying a remarkable run on the field, recently reclaiming the No.1 spot in the ICC ODI batting rankings following a sensational 124-run knock against New Zealand.
With no controversies or controversies linked to his recent performances, fans have been left puzzled over why one of the world’s most influential athletes would suddenly step away from a platform where he commands unparalleled reach.
Fans Flood Anushka Sharma’s Instagram Comments
In the absence of any official word from Kohli, fans have shifted their attention to his wife, actor Anushka Sharma. Comment sections on her recent Instagram posts were quickly flooded with queries, jokes, and light-hearted pleas asking for updates about Kohli’s missing account.
From humorous comments to genuine concern, fans expressed everything from curiosity to worry. However, Anushka Sharma has not responded to the surge of comments, maintaining silence amid the growing chatter.
No Official Statement Yet
As of now, neither Virat Kohli nor his management team has released any statement explaining the reason behind the deactivation. Industry experts note that high-profile celebrities sometimes deactivate accounts temporarily for personal reasons, digital detoxes, or security concerns.
Until an official clarification emerges, the speculation is likely to continue.
