WATCH: Virat Kohli's 'notebook' celebration after hitting Kesrick Williams for a six

NEW DELHI: India captain Virat Kohli prefers his bat to do all the talking. But in a rare incident during the opening Twenty20 International against the West Indies in Hyderabad on Friday, he turned his arm into a virtual 'notebook' to celebrate.
In the 16th over of India's run-chase at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Kohli smashed West Indies pacer Kesrick Williams for a six and then imitated the bowler's famous notebook celebration.The Indian skipper used his arm as a notebook to sign, after hitting Williams over the ropes.
Kohli scored a masterful unbeaten 94 off 50 balls as India chased down the challenging target of 208 with eight balls to spare for a six-wicket win.
On being asked if the celebration was inspired by the Carribean Premier League (CPL), Kohli said that it was actually a reply to a previous incident between the two players.
"It's not the CPL, it happened to me in Jamaica when he got me out. So I thought I'll tick a few in the notebook as well, but all good. There were a few words, but smiles at the end. That's what you want to see. Good competitive cricket, but in the end shake hands and give a high-five. That's what cricket is all about. Play it hard, but have respect for opponents," Kohli said after the match.
