Who can forget the heroic act of Carlos Brathwaite against Ben Stokes in the final of the ICC T20I World Cup 2016? He hit Stokes for four Sixes in a row to do the unthinkable and also helped Windies to lift the coveted trophy. Meanwhile, after a fine period of time, Carlos Brathwaite visited the same stadium for the Windies side. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians came up with a tweet.
Mumbai Indians, in their update to the followers, quoted the last appearance of the Windies skipper Carlos Brathwaite at Eden Gardens came when he smashed Ben Stokes for four sixes in a row to seal the grand trophy.
Ben Stokes replied to Mumbai Indians:
There were many fans, who recalled the moment and tried to troll Ben Stokes over it. Meanwhile, Ben St0kes replied to Mumbai Indians tweet saying ”Yep” which left the fans in splits.
All in all, it ended up on a healthy note. Meanwhile, Carlos Brathwaite failed to make a mark with his willow despite having the chance to lift his side from all kind of sorts. However, he has been brilliant with his bowling as he scalped two wickets.
Digging into Mumbai Indians’ tweet, it read ”The last time Carlos Brathwaite wore the Windies jersey at the Eden Gardens, he hit Stokes for 6,6,6,6. Remember the game?” Meanwhile, Stokes replied ”yep”.

As it happened:
Coming to the game, initially, Indian won the toss and elected to bowl first. The fast bowlers made an immediate impact by knocking down Windies openers pretty early. They never looked like settling in, as the Indian bowlers chipped in with wickets at regular intervals.
The late blitz from Fabien Allen helped Windies put 109 on the board. In reply, Indian top-order also struggled to make an impact. However, Dinesh Karthik and Krunal Pandya held their nerves to take India to the victory.
