The wonder kid

                                                                    Carlos Brathwaite



Remember the name because he is the person he is the future of westindies cricket ,the way he played that terrific knock was absolutely tremendous and fast.When the t20 final went down to the last over and Westindies needed 18 runs to win nobody gave them a chance,but there was this rising superstar waiting in the wings to grab the opportunity with both hands and show the world what he is capable of,just imagine the pressure he had to undergo while he played that fantastic knock and finished off the match with three huge sixes to seal the match.It will remembered and be in the heart forever what a knock it was played by our very own upcoming superstar Carlos Brathwaite the commentators expression to describe him was simply too magnificant on the day of the final.





Carlos Brathwaite (born 18 July 1988) is a West Indian cricketer from Barbados. Brathwaite made his Twenty20 Internationaldebut for the West Indies against Bangladesh on 11 October 2011. He made his One Day International debut seven days later in the same series.[1] During the West Indies tour of Sri Lanka in 2015, he scored 113 from 58 balls against Sri Lanka Board President's XI and shared a 193-run partnership for the eighth wicket with Andre Russell at Colts Cricket Club Ground, Colombo, to help his side recover from 7 for 109 to 318 in a 50-over game.

He made his Test debut for the West Indies in the Second Test against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on 26 December 2015.[2]
Needing 19 to win in the last over against England, Brathwaite scored four consecutive sixes in the first four balls of the over in the final of 2016 ICC World Twenty20 to enable the West Indies to win their second World Twenty20 title.[3] This was his debut World Cup. He was the first player for the West Indies to score four consecutive sixes in a T20I match.[4]

In April 2016, he made his Indian Premier League debut with franchise Delhi Daredevils,[5] having been bought at auction forRs. 4.2 crore (having had a base price of Rs. 30 lakh).[6]
He also spent a number of years playing domestic cricket in Ireland, with Dublin-based Leinster Cricket Club, with whom in 2009 he won the Bob Kerr Irish Senior Cup, defeating Donemena CC in the final.[7]

One of the biggest buys for DD ahead of the 2016 edition of the IPL, Carlos Brathwaite made his ODI and T20I debuts in 2011 against Bangladesh but made headlines for the first time when he smashed sixes off four consecutive deliveries to help West Indies clinch the ICC World T20 2016 title. The 27-year old has been plying his skills for various teams in the West Indies and will be seen in the IPL for the first time in 2016. He was one of the biggest buys for DD ahead of the ninth season of the tournament.
