German influencer LizLaz has been making headlines ever since reports circulated that Virat Kohli allegedly liked one of her old Instagram posts.
The former Indian captain, Virat Kohli, has once again caught the attention of the netizens for allegedly liking a model's post. The cricketer previously found himself in a similar situation after he liked Avneet Kaur's picture on Instagram. And now, it is the German influencer, LizLaz, whose picture the cricket star has liked. The eagle-eyed fans were quick to bring back his 'algorithm' explanation, and fans quickly began searching for who the much-talked-about influencer was. So, without any further ado, let's take a look at what happened and who LizLaz is.
It was on April 17, 2026, when a buzz began making the rounds on social media, featuring screenshots of the German influencer LizLaz's post showing that Virat Kohli had liked the picture. What further caught the netizen's attention was the fact that the post was not recent. It was an old picture of the influencer, clicked by photographer, Advait Vaidya. Within minutes, screenshots began circulating, turning a small action into a viral moment and a full meme fest. However, while the cricketer allegedly unliked the picture later, the incident sparked curiosity about who LizLaz was, so let's take a look at her.
Jennifer also known as LizLaz, is a German-South African travel vlogger and singer. She has a massive following of 437k on Instagram alone and, in recent times, has even shared several posts from India, collaborating with Indian influencers. However, recently she began making headlines after Indian cricketer, Virat Kohli, allegedly liked one of her posts dated January 30, 2026. Apart from the buzz, LizLaz is known for her authentic cultural storytelling, multilingual skills, and viral content like Samosa Samosa and has built a strong Indian fanbase.
According to her Instagram bio, she is a vlogger, foodie, and singer based in Germany. LizLaz also has a master's in Psychology. The influencer is fluent in German, English, and Dutch, and has learned Hindi and regional languages. Some of her videos on Instagram focus on interactions with locals in cities like Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Delhi. According to reports, her viral track Samosa Samosa, reportedly written in 20 minutes, became a breakout moment. Other than that, her podcast comparing the lifestyles of people in India and Germany has also made her a favourite among the Indian audience.
As soon as netizens pointed out that Virat Kohli allegedly liked one of LizLaz's pictures on Instagram, they poked fun at the incident and shared comments on the 'algorithm'. For the unversed, this was not the first time that Virat has found himself in such a situation. The 'algorithm' comment was previously used by the cricketer after he "accidentally" liked a picture of actor and influencer, Avneet Kaur, in a lime green crop top and mini skirt, an action that did not go unnoticed by fans. At the time, Virat took to his Instagram stories to clarify the buzz and stated:
"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."
After the post went viral, fans once again brought up the algorithm bid. They took to the German influencer's Instagram comments section and turned the moment into humour rather than controversy. One of them wrote, "Kohli liked this post on Instagram. Another paragraph loading on the algorithm." Another penned, "Algorithm." A comment read, "Akaay ke haath se phone lo." A user quipped, "Relax, guys, it's algorithm."
