Vaidya thanked King Kohli for unblocking him and called him the best batsman cricket has ever seen.

"Thank you @virat.kohli for unblocking me... you are one of the best batsman cricket has ever seen and Aap India ka garv ho! Jai Hind. God bless you and your family," the singer penned on his Instagram stories.

The alleged row between Kohli and Vaidya commenced when a post featuring influencer and actress Avneet Kaur was liked by Kohli's Instagram account.

After the social media exchange went viral, Kohli issued a public clarification, blaming Instagram's algorithm.

"While clearing my feed, it appears the algorithm may have mistakenly registered an interaction. There was absolutely no intent behind it. I request that no unnecessary assumptions be made," the cricketer wrote.

Taking a dig at the cricketer, Vaidya said, "Aaj ke baad aisa ho sakta hai ki algorithm bohot saare photos like karde jo maine nahi kare. So jo bhi ladki ho, please don't do PR around it because it is not my mistake. It is Instagram's mistake, okay?"

The singer further informed that Kohli blocked him on Instagram. Taunting the cricketer further, Vaidya said that he might have been blocked by Instagram.

However, things got a little serious when Vaidya accused the fans of the cricketer of abusing him and his family for calling Kohli a 'Joker'.

Vaidya took to his Instagram stories and wrote, "Virat Kohli's fans are even bigger jokers than Virat!".

In another post, he said, โ€œAnd now u r abusing me that's fine but u r abusing my wife my sister.. who have nothing to do with this! So I was right that's why you all Virat kohli fans are jokers! 2 kaudi ke jokers (sic).โ€

Finally some peace! This whole drama was getting too much. Both are legends in their fields - Virat in cricket and Rahul in singing. Let's appreciate their talents instead of fueling fights. ๐Ÿ™

Honestly, this was such a childish fight from both sides. Virat is our cricket god but he shouldn't have blocked Rahul. And Rahul shouldn't have called him names. Both need to grow up! ๐Ÿ˜…

As a die-hard Kohli fan, I'm happy he took the high road and unblocked. But fans abusing Rahul's family was totally unacceptable. We need to support our heroes without becoming toxic.

Why are we even discussing Instagram blocks when there are real issues in our country? These celebrities should focus on their work rather than social media drama. #Priorities

Rahul Vaidya's comment calling Virat "India ka garv" shows true sportsmanship. At the end of the day, we're all Indians first. Let's celebrate our icons instead of creating divisions. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ

The whole "algorithm" explanation was funny though! ๐Ÿ˜‚ In today's digital age, even our celebrities blame tech for their mistakes. But glad they've patched up now.
