Virat Kohli Instagram: Team India’s batting icon Virat Kohli has surprised millions of fans after his official Instagram account disappeared from the platform. The deactivation came to light on Friday, January 30, 2026, shortly after India’s ODI series against New Zealand. Kohli’s profile with more than 274 million followers, which is one of the most followed profiles in the world of cricket, is no longer found in searches nor is it visible in the list of followers.

Why did Virat Kohli deactivate his Instagram account?

No official statement has come yet from Virat Kohli, his management or Instagram. It is not clear whether 37-year-old Kohli himself has deactivated the account or it is some glitch in the social media platform. The special thing is that Kohli had gradually reduced his activity on social media in recent years, started posting less personal updates, limited promotional posts, and started paying more attention to privacy and family time.

What happened to Kohli’s X account?

Meanwhile, Kohli is active on other platforms. His X account is still accessible, and there is no indication that the Instagram issue has had any impact on his professional commitments. Kohli, 37, recently returned to London after a stellar performance in the ODI series against New Zealand and is expected to make a comeback in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL 2026) season, where Royal Challengers Bangalore will try to defend their title. On the field, Kohli has been in great form in ODIs since returning to competitive cricket after a four-month break in October last year. During this period, he scored 616 runs including three centuries in nine matches. Kohli had reached the top of the ICC ODI batting rankings for some time, but earlier this month he was overtaken by New Zealand’s Daryl Mitchell.
