Virat Kohli No More On Instagram? Fans Flood Anushka's Account Asking- ‘Bhabhi, Bhaiya Ka Account Kahan Gaya?

Indian cricket fans were left surprised on January 30 after Virat Kohli's Instagram account suddenly became unavailable.

The star batter, who has more than 270 million followers on the platform, could no longer be found through search, and users were shown a message saying, "Profile isn't available."

Kohli's Instagram page has long been a space where he shares cricket updates, personal moments, and brand promotions. The sudden disappearance led to confusion and concern among fans, especially as there was no official statement from Kohli, his management team, or Instagram explaining the reason.

Brother's Account Also Missing, Speculation Grows

Adding to the mystery, the Instagram account of Kohli's brother, Vikas Kohli, also stopped appearing on the platform around the same time. Users trying to access his profile were shown the same message, further fuelling speculation online.

On social media, reactions ranged from worry to humour. Many fans flooded the comment sections of Anushka Sharma, Kohli's wife, asking if she knew why the account had vanished. Some comments jokingly asked her where Kohli's Instagram had gone.

Memes soon followed, with users linking the incident to a recent viral "missing penguin" trend. Several posts joked that 2026 had become a year of strange online disappearances.

Fans are also jumping on Anushka Sharma's Instagram account to ask about Virat Kohli's account.

One of the user commented- "Bhabhi- Bhaiya ka account kaha gaya?"

Rohit Sharma's Post Adds to Online Buzz

The buzz grew louder after Rohit Sharma shared a cryptic Instagram Story a day earlier, hinting that a "big announcement" was coming soon. Though no details were shared, fans began wondering if it had any connection to Kohli's missing account or if it was related to cricket or a brand collaboration.

Kohli Active Elsewhere, Cricket Commitments Unaffected

Despite the Instagram issue, Kohli remains active on X (formerly Twitter), where his account is fully accessible. There is also no sign that the social media disappearance has affected his professional schedule.

The 37-year-old recently returned to London after a strong performance in the ODI series against New Zealand. He is expected to return for the upcoming Indian Premier League 2026 season, where Royal Challengers Bengaluru will aim to defend their title.

On the cricket field, Kohli has been in excellent form since his return to international cricket in October last year. He has scored 616 runs in nine ODI matches, including three centuries, and briefly reclaimed the top spot in the ICC ODI batting rankings before being overtaken earlier this month by New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell.

For now, fans continue to wait for clarity on why Kohli's Instagram account went missing, hoping the silence will soon be broken.
