New Delhi, January 30: India’s star cricketer and global sports icon Virat Kohli surprised millions of fans after his official Instagram account became inaccessible in the early hours of Friday, January 30, 2026. Followers attempting to view his profile were met with a blank page displaying the message “Profile isn’t available,” triggering widespread confusion and speculation across social media platforms.

Kohli is among the most-followed sportspersons in the world, boasting over 274 million followers on Instagram before the sudden disappearance. His unexpected absence from the platform has left fans wondering whether the account was intentionally deactivated, temporarily disabled due to a technical glitch, or suspended for unknown reasons.

Did Virat Kohli Deactivate His Instagram Account?

Despite the Instagram mystery, Kohli remains active elsewhere. His X (formerly Twitter) account is still live, where he enjoys a massive following of over 65 million users. The 37-year-old batting maestro is also in outstanding form on the field. Recently, he completed his 54th ODI century during India’s home bilateral series against New Zealand, scoring over 200 runs across three matches and delivering two standout performances despite India’s series loss.

Kohli has reportedly returned to London following the series and is expected to be back in action for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, where he will represent Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Until an official clarification emerges, fans continue to wait anxiously for answers behind the sudden vanishing of one of Instagram’s biggest sporting icons.
