Carlos Brathwaite hits the helmet with his bat after dismissal
Joshua Little was the bowler responsible for the pivotal moment. Delivering a bouncer back of a length on the stumps, Little challenged Brathwaite with a delivery that invited a risky pull shot. Brathwaite, known for his aggressive play, opted to gamble on the pull towards slip. However, the ball remained in the air and was expertly caught by Ben Dunk, resulting in Brathwaite’s dismissal for just 7 runs.
The dismissal sparked a visible display of frustration from the right-handed West Indies batter. After removing his helmet, he forcefully struck it with his bat, a dramatic gesture of his discontent. The act of hitting the helmet with his bat and then throwing the bat in frustration captured the emotional highs and lows that characterize high-stakes cricket.
