Carlos Brathwaite
“The day before the final, I went to a function in Kolkata, businessman’s function. We had to have a question and answer session. One of the questions was, are there any players, apart from the obvious ones, in the West Indies team in the final that we should look at. I eliminated a few players, the Gayles, the Badrees, etc. And I said, Carlos Brathwaite. He is built like a house, he is bowling well, he could be a game-changer.” he said
“I subconsciously remembered what I had said about Carlos the day before, to look out for this fella, and I was kind of speaking to them, “remember the name,” Ian Bishop said.
Going into the final over, the West Indies appeared to be significantly behind England in the game. With the aim still, 19 runs away, Carlos Brathwaite, a relatively unknown international player, was on strike for the final over. Brathwaite’s lack of experience didn’t matter, though, as he smashed Ben Stokes for four consecutive sixes to win the match.
