Virat Kohli revamps Instagram feed; new changes ignite fan chatter as they love it!

Virat Kohli, one of India’s most celebrated cricketers and social media icons, has made a quiet yet impactful change to his Instagram profile and fans are loving it! The former India and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) skipper has shifted all his promotional content, paid partnerships, and brand advertisements from the main feed to the Reels section, giving his grid a more personal and heartfelt touch.

Now, Kohli’s Instagram feed offers a refreshing mix of gym clips, training moments, family time, and snapshots with close friends, with several warm glimpses of his wife, actress Anushka Sharma, making the spotlight. Though there's been no official statement from Kohli or his team regarding the update, netizens believe the move was intentional possibly to bring more attention to his personal life and entrepreneurial ventures, like his popular One8 brand, as the main feed acts as a digital homepage on Instagram.

The change has sparked chatter among fans, with many flooding the comments on his latest post, which was about a new branch of his One8 restaurant opening in Gurugram. One fan wrote, “Ads moved to reels section, the feed looks sooo good,” while another asked, “King Kohli removed all the advertisements from his account?” It’s clear that followers are appreciating this cleaner, more intimate version of Kohli’s online presence.

On the cricket front, Kohli continues to make headlines. In the ongoing IPL 2025 season, he has scored an impressive 164 runs in just four matches, boasting a strong strike rate of 143.86. Under new captain Rajat Patidar, RCB has had a promising start, winning three out of their first four games, a hopeful sign for fans eager to see the team finally lift the trophy.

Speaking recently on the show ‘18 Calling 18’ on JioHotstar, Kohli looked back at his IPL debut with nostalgia. “I was in complete awe,” he shared, recalling the thrill of sharing the dressing room with cricket legends like Rahul Dravid and Anil Kumble. “It felt like fantasy land.”

From streamlining his digital image to continuing his cricketing excellence, Virat Kohli knows how to stay in the spotlight both on and off the field.
