New Delhi: Renowned Indian cricketer Virat Kohli has addressed recent media reports regarding his earnings from his official Instagram handle, stating that the figures presented are “not true.”
With a staggering following of approximately 256 million users, Kohli ranks among India’s and the world’s most prominent sports personalities in terms of his online presence. This widespread popularity positions him as a highly sought-after figure for numerous brands, often engaging in brand promotions and advertisements on his social media platforms. The curiosity surrounding his earnings from promotional posts has long intrigued his fanbase.
Recent media publications had claimed that Kohli’s earnings ranged from Rs. 9 crore to Rs. 15 crore per promotional post through his social media accounts. However, the cricket star has now clarified that these figures do not accurately reflect his actual earnings from Instagram.
Kohli’s on-field performance has been as exceptional as his online presence.

His prowess extends to Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) as well, with 4,008 runs in 115 matches, featuring one century and 37 fifties. These achievements have firmly established Kohli as one of the most successful batters in the history of the sport.
As of now, Kohli has accumulated an impressive tally of 25,000 international runs and 76 centuries. Fans keenly observe every run and century he scores, fueled by the anticipation of witnessing him surpass the legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 34,357 international runs and 100 centuries.
