However, Kohli missed out on a century.

Virat Kohli did notebook celebration

Virat Kohli played an unbeaten knock of 94 runs in that match against West Indies, which was his best score in T20 cricket at that time. At the beginning of the innings, it did not seem that Kohli would reach such a big score. Kohli was playing at a strike rate of 100 for 20 balls. With the team needing 119 runs in the last 10 overs, Kohli's war of words with Kesrick Williams shook the Chess Master. After this, he hit three sixes and a four off Williams's ball. During this, Kohli had also avenged 2017 from Williams by doing a notebook celebration.

Virat Kohli said after his scintillating innings, 'This is not CPL, it happened to me in Jamaica when he got me out. So I thought I should tick something in the notebook as well, but all is well. There were few words, but a smile at the end. That's what you want to see. Good competitive cricket but finally join hands and give hi-fi. Cricket is just that. Play it hard but respect your opponents.

Virat Kohli will still be expected to make a similar innings against Australia. However, Kohli has not been able to score a big score in this series so far. He scored 2 runs in Mohali and 11 in Nagpur.
