Virat Kohli’s Mysterious Instagram Post Stuns Fans
Cricket icon Virat Kohli recently created a social media frenzy after posting a striking photo on Instagram.
In the image, Kohli is seen wearing a white t-shirt, with visible swelling around his eyes and a bandage placed across his nose. Despite the apparent bruises, he smiled confidently and captioned the picture:
“You should see the other guy.”
The intriguing caption immediately caught fans’ attention, leaving many puzzled about what had happened to the Indian superstar.
😟 Fans Express Concern Over His Condition
Within minutes, the post went viral, flooding X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram with worried comments from fans around the world.
Supporters speculated whether Kohli had sustained an injury during training or perhaps been involved in an accident.
A few fan reactions included:
“Hope he’s okay. What happened to Virat?”
“That looks serious — is it from practice?”
“You can’t just drop a photo like that and vanish, King!”
🎬 The Truth: It Was Just a Puma Ad Shoot
While fans were left anxious, it was later revealed that there’s nothing to worry about.
The viral photo was not real — it was part of a commercial shoot for Puma India, one of Kohli’s long-time brand partners.
The makeup showing swollen eyes and a nose injury was simply part of the creative look for the advertisement. Kohli’s playful caption was clearly a fun nod to the shoot — not a real fight or injury.
🏏 Kohli Retained by RCB for IPL 2024
Interestingly, this viral post came right after the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) confirmed that Virat Kohli will continue with the team for the upcoming IPL 2024 season.
RCB announced his retention ahead of the IPL mini-auction scheduled for next month, reassuring fans that their favorite star will once again be the face of the franchise.
💥 Social Media Erupts with Memes and Theories
After the clarification surfaced, fans turned their initial worry into humor. Memes and jokes flooded social platforms, with many praising Kohli’s ability to grab attention effortlessly — whether on the field or online.
The hashtag #ViratKohli and his quote #YouShouldSeeTheOtherGuy quickly began trending, proving yet again why Kohli remains one of the most talked-about athletes on social media.
✅ Final Takeaway
While Virat Kohli’s viral photo may have initially shocked fans, it turned out to be all in good fun — a creative promotional campaign rather than a real injury.
With his fitness intact and his place in RCB confirmed, fans can now look forward to seeing King Kohli back in action in IPL 2024 — stronger, sharper, and more charismatic than ever.
