Cricketer Virat Kohli grabbed headlines on Friday after he allegedly liked the Instagram picture of a German influencer, LizLaz. Although he unliked it later, it was all over the internet by then. The news reminded the internet of hilarious throwbacks to Kohli’s 2025 ‘likegate’ involving actor Avneet Kaur. Amid all the buzz, LizLaz, whose picture has now gone viral, has now reacted to the incident.

LizLaz on being a Virat Kohli fan

Notably, an old clip of LizLaz’s interview has also been going viral, in which she confessed to being a Virat Kohli fan. Talking about it, she told Hindustan Times, “One of my best friends is from Bangalore, so I just wanted to visit them. I thought I am going to stay for maybe two weeks and then leave. But then I enjoyed it a lot, so I stayed for many months. I also started travelling around all over South India, Goa, Mysore, even Coorg, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, and then also the north later. And this trip is when I got introduced to cricket as a sport. I didn’t watch it before or anything. I was born in South Africa but brought up in Germany, where the national sport is only football.”
