Forget Sachin’s record: Kohli breaks THIS legend’s mark in Indore

The cricketer’s Instagram, known for blending electrifying cricket moments, personal life glimpses, brand deals, and fitness inspiration, has been unreachable since early Friday, frustrating legions of followers.

Adding to the intrigue, reports indicate that another Instagram account belonging to Kohli’s brother has also gone missing, fueling theories about a coordinated social media purge or glitch.

No official word has yet been issued by Kohli, his management, or Instagram’s parent company Meta, to explain the disappearance. In sharp contrast, Kohli’s presence on X (formerly Twitter) remains active, yet eerily silent about the enigmatic Instagram blackout.

Meanwhile, fans have turned the comment sections of posts by his wife, Anushka Sharma, into message boards pleading for answers and urging the icon to return online.

With the absence now trending globally and digital forums exploding with reactions, the Kohli IG mystery has become the internet’s hottest unsolved puzzle — until an official explanation breaks the silence.
