The official Instagram account of Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli briefly went missing on Friday morning, triggering concern and speculation among fans on social media. After a few hours, the account reappeared, bringing relief to millions of followers. However, the lack of clarity surrounding the incident has kept discussions alive online.

During the brief outage, searches for Kohli’s profile on Instagram showed no results, leading many users to believe that the account had been deactivated or temporarily restricted. Several fans shared screenshots on social platforms showing that Kohli’s profile was not visible in search results.

Adding to the confusion, the Instagram account of Kohli’s brother, Vikas Kohli, was also reportedly unavailable during the same period. This coincidence intensified speculation and led to widespread online discussion about a possible technical issue or account restriction.

Some users also flooded the Instagram account of actress Anushka Sharma with queries, seeking clarification regarding the sudden disappearance. However, no official response was issued from Anushka Sharma or Virat Kohli regarding the incident.

As the account resurfaced later in the day, fans expressed relief, but questions remain unanswered. With over 270 million followers, Kohli is among the most-followed athletes on Instagram, and his posts consistently receive massive engagement. Until an official clarification is provided, the reason behind the temporary disappearance of his account continues to remain unclear.
