Virat Kohli fans can breathe a sigh of relief — the former India captain’s Instagram account is back online. The profile, which has 274 million followers, was down for several hours but has now been fully restored, along with all 1,044 old posts, allowing fans to revisit their favorite pictures and videos of the cricket legend. The reason behind the sudden disappearance of Kohli’s account remains unclear, and an official clarification is still awaited.
The brief outage sparked a frenzy on X (formerly Twitter), with Kohli trending within an hour. Fans speculated wildly, with some even questioning if the move hinted at a potential retirement from international cricket.
However, there is no such development — the account is simply back to normal. Interestingly, Kohli’s elder brother, Vikas Kohli, also temporarily disappeared from Instagram at the same time.
Kohli’s account was restored around 8:30 AM on Friday, though the right-handed batter has not yet made any new posts.
