She added that her inbox was flooded with messages as fans and followers from across the world reacted to the unexpected moment.
“I Felt Sorry for Him”
Interestingly, Liz Laz expressed empathy toward Kohli after he reportedly removed the like.

She also suggested that the attention may not have been intentional, urging people not to overanalyze the situation.

Adding another twist to the story, an old clip of Liz Laz resurfaced online, where she openly admitted to being a fan of Kohli.
Her admiration reportedly began during her visit to India, where she traveled extensively across cities like Bengaluru, Goa, Mumbai, Chennai, and Hyderabad. During this trip, she was introduced to cricket and the Indian Premier League.
“If you support Royal Challengers Bengaluru, then Virat Kohli is the most exciting player to watch. He’s just so good,” she said.
