"Don't Remember the Name"- Carlos Brathwaite destroys his own helmet and puts Ian Bishop to shame

A recent video of West Indies all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite has taken the cricketing world by storm, putting the once-celebrated player in a bad light.

He is remembered for his heroics in the 2016 T20 World Cup final, where he famously struck four consecutive sixes to clinch the second title for the West Indies in India.

However, Brathwaite has been now out of the West Indies’ consideration playing in the franchise leagues across the world and working as a broadcaster.

Brathwaite is currently playing in the Max60 Caribbean League for the New York Strikers.

Carlos Brathwaite’s fiery outburst shocks fans in Max60 Caribbean League

He is typically known for his calm demeanor on the field, but he shocked fans with a rare outburst during a match against the Grand Cayman Jaguars.

The incident occurred during the Super Three stage of the tournament when Brathwaite was controversially given out against Josh Little.

On the third delivery of the ninth over, a short ball from Little struck Brathwaite on the shoulder as he attempted a pull shot. The ball lobbed towards the wicketkeeper, Ben Dunk, who completed the stunning catch.

To the bewilderment of many, the on-field umpire ruled Brathwaite out, seemingly under the impression that the ball had made contact with his glove.

The West Indies hard hitter was clearly frustrated by the decision, staying on the field for a few moments before reluctantly making his way back to the pavilion.

And at that time, the real drama unfolded. However, Brathwaite’s anger got the better of him as he removed his helmet in frustration and hurled it out of the playing area, followed by throwing his bat upon entering the dugout. This unexpected display of temper from Brathwaite has left fans and experts in shock.
