Virat Kohli and the Indian team‘s monumental victory at the T20 World Cup has cemented their legacy, making headlines and setting social media alight. Kohli’s celebratory Instagram post following his team’s victory has set a new record, becoming the most-liked image ever posted in India.
Virat’s social media post has shattered the previous record set by Bollywood stars Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra, amassing an impressive 18 million likes and counting. This achievement eclipses the 16.26 million likes earned by Kiara Advani’s wedding announcement post in February 2023.
The star batter posted numerous photos of Team India clutching the T20 World Cup title and having fun in the locker room to his Instagram page. He wrote, “Couldn’t have dreamt of a better day than this. God is great and I bow my head in gratitude. We finally did it jai hind.”
Despite the attention on Virat’s post, it falls short of the global record set by football legend Lionel Messi. Messi’s Instagram post celebrating Argentina’s World Cup 2022 victory has an astounding 75.3 million likes, surpassing Virat’s numbers.
After leading India to victory in the T20 World Cup, the 35-year old batter shared a romantic, sun-kissed picture with his wife Anushka Sharma, expressing gratitude for her unwavering support and love.
