Kohli has now joined the 100 million followers club, which includes Juventus striker Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Argentine forward Lionel Messi, Hollywood actor and former pro-wrestler Dwayne Johnson (The Rock), and American singer-songwriters Beyonce and Ariana Grande.

Ronaldo tops the chart with 266 million followers, while Barcelona captain Messi and Brazil's Neymar stand second and third on the list with 187 million and 147 million followers respectively. Kolhi is currently in the sixth position on this list.

Kohli had earlier become the first Asian to reach 75 million followers on Instagram, and the first Indian to touch 50 million followers on the same platform.

Interestingly, the cricketer went from having 50 million to 100 million followers within just a year.

Apart from Instagram, Kohli also has a massive fan-following on other social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook. He has 40.8 million followers right now on Twitter.
