The last time he ‘liked’ actor Avneet Kaur's Instagram picture, he blamed it on the algorithm. What will it be this time, fans of cricketer Virat Kohli are wondering

he actually issued an explanation on his Instagram Stories for liking actor Avneet Kaur's Instagram picture. He had written, “I'd like to clarify that while clearing my feed

it appears the algorithm may have mistakenly registered an interaction. There was absolutely no intent behind it. I request that no unnecessary assumptions be made. Thank you for your understanding.”

The reactions had been hilarious. And this time too, the internet is unrelenting as it reacts to his like on LizLaz's post. Someone commented “Akaay ke haath se phone lo”, while someone tagged Anushka Sharma
