The cricketer who is known for his aggressive approach in field, yesterday made a gesture of “Notebook Celebration” after hitting Kesrick William for a six. He indeed imitated the bowler who always did that sort of celebration after taking important wickets on certain occasions. On the 16th over which was bowled by Kesrick, India scored 23 runs which helped the team to chase the big target effortlessly by sparing 8 balls.

After watching this video, many fans of Indian cricket team went gaga and few recognised it as an revenge by the Indian skipper for what happened to him in 2017. While playing against West Indies in Jamaica, Williams who will get Kohli out will do his “Notebook Celebration” to send him off. Fans started comparing the videos to show how keen Kohli is when it comes to giving back.

Now in a way of accepting it, Virat Kohli while answering to Sanjay manjrekar has said that he doesn’t watched Caribbean premier league to know about the celebration of Williams but experienced it himself in Jamaica. However, the cricketer said that he has respect for his opponents. “That’s what cricket is all about. There are few words out there but smiles at the end. That’s how a competitive game should be. But at the end of the day we gave smiles at each other and had hi-fives. That’s what cricket is all about. Play it hard and have respect for the opponent” said the Indian cricketer.
