India star Virat Kohli is one of the best batters the world has ever seen. His impressive show on the field sees him enjoy a great following on social media.

On Instagram, Kohli has 246 million followers on platform. While replying to a question on whether Kohli has more followers on Instagram than American celebrity Kim Kardashian, former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan picked the right answer.

While playing 'truth' and 'lie' during a fun session on Star Sports, Pathan rightly assumed that Kohli must be behind Kardashian in terms of social media followers. "Virat Kohli has more followers than Kim Kardashian on social media" was the statement that was asked from actor Priyanka Chopra.

Irfan Pathan picked the 'lie' banner while Tom Moody, who was also present in the session with him, picked the 'truth' banner.
