Carlos Brathwaite’s name will forever echo in cricketing history for one of the most unforgettable finishes in T20 cricket. Born on July 18, 1988, in Bridgetown, Barbados, Brathwaite is an explosive all-rounder who became a global sensation after the 2016 ICC T20 World Cup Final. With West Indies needing 19 runs off the final over, Brathwaite struck four consecutive sixes off Ben Stokes, clinching the title and etching his name into West Indies folklore with the now-iconic phrase: “Carlos Brathwaite – Remember the name!” But Carlos’ journey was far more than one magical over. A late bloomer on the international stage, he made his debut in 2011 but rose to prominence in the mid-2010s as a hard-hitting lower-order batter and handy medium pacer. Brathwaite’s all-round ability made him a vital asset in white-ball cricket. He captained the West Indies T20 side from 2016 to 2019, guiding a young, transitional team with resilience and maturity. One of his finest ODI performances came against New Zealand in the 2019 Cricket World Cup, where he scored a breathtaking 101 off 82 balls, almost pulling off a heroic win. Though West Indies lost by 5 runs, Brathwaite’s century was a masterclass in courage and composure. Carlos also became a franchise cricket regular, appearing in leagues like the IPL (with Delhi Daredevils and Sunrisers Hyderabad), CPL, BBL, and PSL. His versatility, power-hitting, and leadership skills made him a sought-after T20 player globally. Off the field, Brathwaite is eloquent, thoughtful, and deeply connected to the values of the game. He’s an advocate for mental health awareness, speaks openly about his struggles with pressure, and is admired for his honesty. His career may not boast massive numbers, but his influence and presence have been profoundly impactful. Carlos Brathwaite remains a reminder that moments in cricket can define legacies—and his moment in 2016 will never be forgotten.
