Kohli Crashes Fake News Account with Laughing Response to IPL Rumor
1 min readVirat Kohli turned the tables on a hoax report alleging he sought chartered flights for London visits during IPL 2026 breaks. The sensational claim from Instagram’s ‘WorldInLast24Hrs’ suggested the RCB icon wanted seamless travel from India to the UK and back, timed perfectly around match schedules.
Kohli’s rebuttal was swift and savage: a screenshot of the post on his now-deleted Instagram story, flooded with laughing emojis. It was a masterstroke that not only debunked the lie but amplified its ridiculousness, sparking a wave of amusement across cricket Twitter.
The fallout was epic – the fake news peddlers said their account buckled and crashed right after Kohli’s post, sharing analytics as smoking gun evidence. Such is the power of the Kohli effect in the social sphere.
On the cricket front, Kohli was all business at RCB’s first net session, firing up Indian teammates with a reality check. ‘We’ve poured sweat into the last 2-3 IPLs to reach our heights. Now, every team is gunning for us with homework done.’
As the IPL’s run maestro, he set the tone unyieldingly: ‘Zero wastage of these precious days. We’ll dictate terms. Gear up completely. Every session, every minute counts. Push to 120% across these 2.5 months.’
In an era overrun by digital deceit, Kohli’s response exemplifies class and control. It reminds everyone that while off-field noise persists, his priorities – team triumph and personal excellence – remain laser-focused. IPL 2026 can’t come soon enough for fans awaiting his dominance.
