Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli left his fans stunned when his Instagram account mysteriously vanished, leaving millions of followers unable to access his profile. With over 274 million followers, Kohli’s Instagram is one of the most followed athlete accounts in the world.
On Friday morning, users trying to visit his handle were greeted with Instagram’s standard “User not found” or “Profile isn’t available” messages. The sudden disappearance triggered confusion and concern among fans worldwide.
Social media quickly exploded with reactions, memes, and questions.
Many followers humorously turned to his wife, Anushka Sharma, seeking answers, while others speculated on whether the account had been deliberately deactivated, suffered a technical glitch, or if Kohli was taking a planned break from social media.
Some fans even created threads trying to track the timeline of the disappearance, reflecting the enormous global interest in the cricketer’s online presence.
Interestingly, Kohli’s activity on X (formerly Twitter) remained unaffected, with his posts and interactions continuing as usual. This fueled further curiosity about why only Instagram appeared to be affected.
Neither Kohli himself nor his management team has released any official statement, and Instagram’s parent company, Meta, has remained silent, leaving followers to guess the reason behind the temporary blackout.
The incident quickly became a trending topic online, with hashtags and memes highlighting the moment as both humorous and bewildering.
Many fans expressed panic at the thought of losing access to the cricketer’s updates, while others joked about the potential implications for his brand collaborations and sponsorships.
The sudden disappearance also sparked discussions about the influence of social media in the lives of global celebrities and how quickly an entire online following can be left in limbo.

For millions of followers, the incident served as a reminder of the central role social media plays in connecting them with their favorite stars. Until an official explanation is provided, Kohli’s Instagram disappearance remains one of the most curious and talked-about social media moments involving a global sports icon.
