About Carlos Brathwaite

Carlos Brathwaite is best known for hitting four consecutive sixes against Ben Stokes in the ICC World T20 2016 final at the Eden Gardens, thus leading his team to a famous win over England. Few months later, with only eight T20 Internationals under his belt, he was named West Indies' T20I captain. He replaced Darren Sammy, who was left out of the squad for the two-match series against India in Florida.

Born in Barbados, Brathwaite first came into the limelight in his debut first-class season in 2011. He had a fantastic debut match against Trinidad and Tobago as he took 7/90 in the second innings of the match. Brathwaite showed great consistency that season, snaffling 26 wickets in eight first-class games. He was rewarded for his performances with a place in the national team for the Bangladesh tour later that year.

He made his international debut in Dhaka, in a T20I against Bangladesh on October 2011. In fact, his ODI debut came only a week later against the same opposition. He was left out of the national squad after that, though, with no substantial contribution in those two games and his next call came about three years later.
