Former Indian captain Virat Kohli’s Instagram account was noticed deactivated around midnight on January 30, leaving fans confused and curious. The sudden disappearance quickly led to speculation, with many wondering whether Kohli had chosen to deactivate his account or if it was simply a technical issue on Instagram’s end.
As of now, India’s most-followed Instagram account is still not visible, and the topic continues to gain traction across social media. Kohli’s brief absence online caused a stir among fans, especially considering his massive following of over 270 million. He remains the most-followed Indian celebrity on the platform and one of the biggest sports stars in the world.

Fans Question Whether the Account Was Deactivated or Glitched
Within minutes, discussions and theories began circulating online. Instagram has long been seen as a measure of global influence, with figures like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi leading the charts with hundreds of millions of followers. Kohli’s strong digital presence goes beyond cricket, which is why even a short disruption has turned into a headline-worthy moment.
Meanwhile, several influencers and social media users have shared their own theories, suggesting the account may have been suspended unexpectedly. Others feel the situation could be linked to Kohli’s reduced social media activity in recent months, particularly after he moved to London with his family. Some believe the veteran cricketer may be focusing more on his personal life and on-field commitments.
