WATCH – Today in 2016: Carlos Brathwaite smoked Ben Stokes for four successive sixes to hand West Indies their second T20 World Cup

In the last o🐈ver of the 2016 T20 World Cup final at Eden Gardens, West Indies needed 19 to seal an unlikely win, with England all-rounder Ben Stokes set to deliver the final over.

What ensued will live long in the memory of all cricket fans as Windies all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite smashed four successive maximums to guide his team home with two balls to spare, leaving Stokes shattered on his haunches in the middle of🦄 the pitch.

Brathwaite grabbed the headlines, but the ‘Man of the Match’ Marlon Samuels was the real architect behind the West Indies’ victory courtesy of his 66-ball unbeaten 85 – the highest individual score in a World T20 final, beating his own record of 78, scored in 2012.
