Kohli addressed the situation through an Instagram story, stating: "I'd like to clarify that while clearing my feed, it appears the algorithm may have mistakenly registered an interaction. There was absolutely no intent behind it. I request that no unnecessary assumptions be made. Thank you for your understanding."
The social media buzz temporarily subsided after Kohli's explanation, but singer Rahul Vaidya reignited the discussion by posting satirical stories on Instagram.
Vaidya mockingly commented: "Main kehna chahta hoon ki aaj ke baad aisa ho sakta hai ki algorithm bohot saare photos like karde jo maine nahi kare. So, jo bhi ladki ho, please don't do PR around it because it is not my mistake. It is Instagram's mistake, okay?"
The singer later claimed that Kohli had blocked him on Instagram following his posts. He continued his satirical take on the situation with another statement.
"So guys, Virat Kohli has blocked me, as you all know. I think that too is an Instagram glitch, Virat Kohli didn't block me. Instagram k algorithm ne bola hoga Virat Kohli ko ki, 'Ek kaam kar, main tere behalf pe Rahul Vaidya ko block kardeti hoon'. Hain na Right?" he concluded.
Multiple social media users shared photos and tweets of Avneet Kaur in the stadium stands during the match, with some noting her apparent support for Rohit Sharma.
The incident generated significant social media engagement, with various users sharing photos and commenting on Kaur's presence at the IPL match.
