How to recover a deleted branch in Azure DevOps git without knowing the “exact” name

I think I deleted a branch (locally and remote) few days ago in Azure DevOps (git repo). I know it is possible to restore if I knew the "exact name", but what if I didn't remember it entirely? Is there any activity logs I can refer to get the full name? Any Idea?

          Look for the id of the revision of the tip of the branch you want to recover on git reflog. Then you can use that id (checkout, create a branch on it, whatever).
