During the course of his innings, Kohli had a run-in with West Indies pacer Kesrick Williams on many occasions. The duel exploded in Williams's next over when Kohli flicked a ball for a six on the leg side and brought out the notebook celebration, making the Hyderabad crowd go wild.
After the match, Kohli revealed that the two have a bit of history from a 2017 match.
“No, it is not the CPL. It happened to me in Jamaica when he got me out so I thought I would tick a few in the notebook as well but all good, smiles out there, in the end, that's what you want to see, good competitive cricket but at the end of the day we shake hands, that's what cricket is all about, play hard but at the end have respect for your opponents,” the Indian captain said at the post-match ceremony.
Williams had given Kohli his famous 'notebook-style' goodbye after taking his wicket in 2017 and the Indian skipper had clearly not forgotten about that.
