Will Cricket be removed from the Olympics after Virat Kohli deactivates Instagram?

Currently, Virat Kohli fans and Indian cricket fans are in shock with Virat Kohli's unavailability on Instagram, as suddenly his Instagram account cannot be found on this particular social media platform. 

Virat Kohli: Not a cricket icon, but a global influencer

Virat Kohli fans are celebrating after the news revealed that the legendary Indian cricketer and former Indian captain became the second most influential person in the present world on Instagram, according to the latest HypeAuditor rankings. The right-handed batter isn't only a cricket icon, but a global influencer. While Kohli has some strong global brands, worldwide famous influencers also follow him. 

Amid this good news, Kohli fans are shocked to know that his Instagram account is currently deactivated. There is no official information about the reason for this, as we still don't know whether it is a mistake from Instagram, which we experienced previously for many popular Instagram accounts, or the legendary Indian cricketer himself has made the decision to delete the account. However, Kohli's other official social media accounts are currently active.

Relations between Virat Kohli and cricket's return to the Olympics

Meanwhile, why is the question suddenly coming that cricket would be doubtful for the upcoming Olympics? The global popularity of Virat Kohli was one of the reasons for cricket's return to the Summer Olympics, as the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics will welcome the game after 128 years. 

Talking about the game's return to the Olympics, LA Local Organising Committee (LALOG) director Niccolo Campriani credited Kohli's popularity on social media accounts. 

As Kohli's Instagram account has been deactivated, there are some questions arising about whether it can affect cricket's status for the upcoming Olympics. It is very unlikely to affect the game's status in the Olympics return. However, Kohli's present Instagram absence is still shocking.
