Angry Carlos Brathwaite Smashes Helmet Out of the Park, Throws Away His Bat After Wrongly Given Out: WATCH

West Indies all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite has once again hogged the limelight for his hard-hitting skills. However, this time, he smashed his helmet out of the park in agony instead of a cricket ball. The video of his act has taken over social media and fans are surprised to see this version of Brathwaite.

The incident took place in the Max60 Caribbean 2024 Qualifier 1, between Brathwaite’s New York Strikers and Grand Cayman Jaguars at George Town. A short ball from Joshua Little hit the Caribbean all-rounder’s shoulder and travelled straight to the keeper who appealed for a caught-behind after pouching the ball. The ball seemingly didn’t make any contact with the bat but the umpire raised his finger.

Brathwaite was taken aback by the umpire’s decision and turned furious as he smashed his helmet out of the park while heading back to the dressing room. He even threw it away as he reached closer to the team’s dugout.

Later, the New York Strikers defeated the Grand Cayman Jaguars by eight runs in the Qualifier 1 to storm into the final of the Max60 Cayman Islands. Sent into bat, Mitchell Owen (22 off 10 balls) and Brandon McMullen (18 off 8) shared 34 runs in 2.2 overs for the opening wicket to set the foundation for their tall total of 108 for eight. Owen’s knock was laced with four boundaries, while McMullen struck one four and two sixes during his stay at the crease.

Chasing, Alex Hales’ 24-ball unbeaten 35 and skipper Raza’s 16-ball 27-run cameo were not enough as Grand Cayman Jaguars fell short by eight runs, reaching 96 for five in their allotted 10 overs. Left-arm spinner Ansh Patel was the pick of the bowlers for New York Strikers with figures of 2 for 8 from his two overs. Left-arm pacer Isuru Udana (1/32) and Mitchell Owen (1/19) snared a wicket each for the New York Strikers.

New York Strikers will take on Caribbean Tigers in the final later on Sunday.
