A video of Carlos Brathwaite has gone viral. The footage shows the West Indies all-rounder hitting his helmet with his bat in frustration after being dismissed in a match. It happened during a match between New York Strikers (NYS) and Grand Cayman Jaguars (GCJ) during the Max60 Caribbean 2024 tournament.
During the cricket match, Joshua Little bowled a short delivery that struck Brathwaite on the shoulder and was caught by the wicketkeeper. Although the ball appeared not to touch Brathwaite’s bat, the umpire ruled him out for a caught behind. Brathwaite was out after scoring 7 runs in 5 balls.
As Brathwaite walked off the field, he became visibly angry, smashing his helmet over the boundary with his bat and tossing the bat aside when he got closer to the dugout.
