Virat Kohli's Instagram account with over 274 million followers disappears from site
New Delhi: Indian star cricketer sent internet into a frenzy on Thursday night after his official Instagram account suddenly became inaccessible, leaving fans unsure whether the profile had been deleted, deactivated, or temporarily suspended.
Users trying to open Kohli’s verified account were shown a message stating that the page was unavailable. The sudden disappearance quickly caught attention, given Kohli’s massive global following and his strong presence on social media.
Within minutes, hashtags related to Kohli began trending on X and other platforms. Fans shared screenshots of the error message and discussed possible reasons behind the issue. While some suggested that the cricketer may have chosen to step away from social media, others pointed to a possible technical glitch on Instagram’s side. A few users also raised concerns about a potential hacking attempt, though there is no confirmation or evidence to support such claims.
Kohli’s Instagram account has long been a major channel through which he connects with fans, sharing updates related to cricket, fitness, brand partnerships, and personal moments with his family.
As of the time of filing this report, neither Kohli nor his management team has issued any statement on the matter. Instagram has also not provided any clarification on whether the account’s disappearance is linked to a policy action or a technical issue.
