New Delhi: Indian cricket fans were left shocked on Friday as Virat Kohli’s verified Instagram account, boasting over 270 million followers, suddenly disappeared from the platform. Since the morning of January 30, 2026, users searching for the superstar’s profile have been greeted with the message: “Profile Not Available.”
No official explanation has been provided by Virat Kohli, his team, or Instagram, leaving fans speculating whether the account deactivation was deliberate, temporary, or due to a technical glitch.
Brother’s Account Also Missing
Adding to the mystery, Kohli’s brother Vikas Kohli’s Instagram account was also inaccessible from Friday morning. Users attempting to visit his profile received the same “Profile Not Available” message, fueling further curiosity and concern among supporters.
Social Media Reacts
The sudden disappearance sparked a flurry of reactions across social media. Fans expressed worry and astonishment, with many commenting on posts by Kohli’s wife, Anushka Sharma, asking, “Where has Bhaiya’s account gone?” Despite the Instagram outage, Kohli remains active on X (formerly Twitter), indicating that the incident has had no impact on his professional activities.
Kohli’s Recent Form and Upcoming Plans
The 37-year-old superstar recently returned from New Zealand after an impressive ODI series performance. He is expected to feature prominently in the upcoming IPL 2026 season, where Royal Challengers Bangalore will look to defend their title.
As fans await clarity on the sudden Instagram deactivation, the cricketing world watches closely, eager for an official statement from either Kohli or Instagram.
