[Watch] Carlos Brathwaite smashes his helmet beyond the boundary in anger after being adjudged out in Max 60 Caribbean 2024
West Indies all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite showcased a strong reaction after being controversially adjudged out in the clash between the New York Strikers and the Grand Cayman Jaguars during the Max 60 Caribbean 2024 Super Three clash on August 24.
The Strikers, led by Thisara Perera, were placed at 88-6 in the ninth over after being put into bat first. Brathwaite, batting on seven runs off four deliveries, tried to execute a pull shot off left-arm pacer Josh Little's bouncer. The all-rounder failed to make contact as the ball missed his bat and hit his shoulder, before looping into the hands of the wicket-keeper.
Following an appeal by the Grand Cayman Jaguars, the on-field umpire surprisingly adjudged Brathwaite out. The all-rounder was left rooted at the crease after the umpire's verdict, and begrudgingly began walking back to the pavilion.
Just as Brathwaite was about to cross the ropes and get into the team camp, he removed his helmet and smashed it well beyond the playing area. Have a look at the video right here:
The West Indies all-rounder was last seen on the international circuit in 2019. The 36-year-old has often been seen as a commentator across the world in recent times.
