Kohli, who has around 256 million followers on Instagram, is in 14th place on the list, while Chopra sits in 29th place.

NEW DELHI: Star batter Virat Kohli on Saturday refuted reports that floated in social media, claiming that he earned a mindboggling Rs 11.4 crore per single sponsored post through Instagram.

A report by Instagram scheduling tool Hopper HQ, tagged as Instagram Rich List 2023, placed Kohli's income per post on the meta platform at over Rs 11 crore, which the former Indian captain termed "not true.

"While I am grateful and indebted to all that I've received in life, the news that has been making rounds about my social media earnings is not true," Kohli wrote on his Twitter handle.

While I am grateful and indebted to all that I’ve received in life, the news that has been making rounds about my social media earnings is not true.

Kohli, who has around 256 million followers on Instagram, is in 14th place on the list, while Chopra sits in 29th place.
