Dwayne Bravo to Kohli, FOUR, Kohli certainly writes his own scripts. Kohli crunches his first T20 League century off the final ball of the innings. He holds his arms aloft after removing his helmet and hugs KL Rahul. He deservedly gets the applause from his teammates. The smile on his face shows that he really enjoyed playing that knock. He is surely pumped up. Even though, he is playing for the opposition, the crowd too roars in delight. Very full and just outside off, Kohli backed away and sliced it over backward point for a boundary
