On 3rd April 201🅰6, West Indies all-rounder Carlos Braithwaite became a national hero after dramatically winning the World T20 title for his country in the most emphatic fashion.
The Windies 𓂃an🎀d England squared off at the Eden Gardens in India for the summit clash with the ultimate prize up for grabs.
The 🌺English batsmen were out in the middle first, reaching a total of 155-9 in their 20 overs.
In reply, the Caribb🌸ean innings got off to a horror start as they slumped to 11-3. A bit of𒅌 a recovery in the middle phase of their innings got the Men in Marron back on track somewhat, but they remained far behind the required run-rate.
Marlon Samuels kept his team in the contest with a half-century, but it 🌊was left to Brathwaite to deliver the killer blow in the 𒉰final over of the match.
With 19 runs required off the final six deliveries, En🍌g⭕land all-rounder Ben Stokes steamed in to get his team over the line.
But, the right-handed Brathwaite had other ideas as he smashed four massive consecutive sixes to take 🐷the West Indies over the line with two balls remaining.
The unexpected cameo handed the West Indies their second T20 ꦰWorl🐎d Cup, while Brathwaite wrote his name into the history books in the process.
Meanwhile, Stokes on the fourth anniversary of 2016 World T20 fina🐷l, recounted wh🌸en he conceded four consecutive sixes against West Indies all-rounder Brathwaite to lose the showpiece event.
On Friday, Stokes quoted the tweet of ESPNcricinfo and wrote: “It’s that day again…happy 4 year anniversary here’s to many more happy year’s in the future.”

Stokes’ reaction on the tweet came as a surprise for the cricket fans since it is one of the most unpleasant moments of the English all-rounder’s career thus far.
