Which cricketer did Virat Kohli block on Instagram?

Virat Kohli was one of the first people to congratulate me when I joined the RCB team for Rs 14.25 crore in the 2021 auction: Maxwell.

Bengaluru: Virat Kohli and Glenn Maxwell are close friends and teammates at RCB. Maxwell played three seasons with Kohli after joining RCB in the 2021 auction. But Maxwell has now revealed that he and Kohli did not have a good relationship at the time of joining the team. In the Listen Sports podcast, Maxwell revealed that it was Virat Kohli who pushed him the most to get him into RCB after his relationship with Punjab Kings soured.

Virat Kohli was one of the first people to congratulate me on getting into the RCB team for 14.25 crores in the 2021 auction. Later we kept chatting several times. But after coming to the RCB camp, when I searched on Instagram to follow Virat Kohli, I couldn't find him. I knew he was on social media. Then I wondered why I couldn't see him.

I thought maybe he didn't check Instagram much. Then someone told me that maybe he had blocked you. I thought this would never happen. Well, I asked him directly, have you blocked me on Instagram? Kohli replied, yes, you made fun of me so.

During Australia's tour of India in 2017, captain Virat Kohli fell while fielding in the Ranchi Test and injured his shoulder. Due to the injury, Kohli did not field for two days in that Test. Later, when Australia came out to the field, Maxwell mocked Virat Kohli by imitating his shoulder injury and walking on the field with his shoulder pressed. Kohli said that this was the reason he blocked me. I was stunned to hear Kohli's words. Then when I thought, I felt that Kohli did the right thing. But after that conversation, he unblocked me. After that we became good friends - Maxwell said.
