Fact Check: Did Virat Kohli Like Avneet Kaur’s Fan Page Pic on Anushka Sharma’s Birthday?

Virat Kohli is lighting up IPL 2025 with his bat, but this time, it’s not just his runs that are making noise. A social media buzz has suddenly brought Kohli’s name into a new kind of spotlight.

Recently, some Instagram users claimed that Virat liked a photo posted by a fan page of TV actress Avneet Kaur. Soon, a few screenshots showing Virat Kohli’s account in the “likes” section started going viral.

But here’s the fact check: there is no solid proof that the like actually came from Virat himself. Right now, if you check that post, his like is no longer visible. This has only raised more questions, and at this moment, it remains unclear whether he really liked the post or not.

Amid this social media chatter, Virat was busy celebrating his wife Anushka Sharma’s 37th birthday. He shared a lovely post for her, calling her his best friend and life partner.

In his message, Virat wrote, “To my best friend, my life partner, my safe space, my best half, my everything. You’re the guiding light of all of our lives. We love you so much more every day. Happy birthday, my love.”

Meanwhile, on the cricket field, Kohli is showing no signs of slowing down. With 443 runs in 10 innings, he is firmly in the Orange Cap race. His average stands at 63.28, and his strike rate is nearly 139. He has already smashed six half-centuries this season, with a top score of 73 not out.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru sits second in the points table, with seven wins from ten matches. Next up, Kohli and his team will take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at home this Saturday in a much-awaited clash.
