How to get branch name from commit id using azure Devops REST API

Question

Scenario: I need to get when was the latest commit done in the repo and by whom, and to which branch did that user do the commit on?

Solution:
I'm using python azure.devops module. and here is my code:

cm_search_criteria = models.GitQueryCommitsCriteria(history_mode='firstParent', top=10, include_links=True, include_push_data=True, include_user_image_url=True, include_work_items=True)
commits = git_client.get_commits(repo.id, search_criteria=cm_search_criteria, project=project.name)
for i in commits:
datetimeobj = datetime.strptime(i.committer.date.strftime("%x"), '%m/%d/%y')
last_commit_on = datetimeobj.date()
last_commit_by = i.committer.email
break

Now how do I get the branch name to which the user had committed the code? In the UI we can see the branch name... how can i get the same data using Azure Devops REST API ?
