His WT20 numbers don’t matter. 57 runs with the bat and 4 wickets with the ball don’t tell the story. However, if his performance in the Final is anything to go by, Brathwaite is the real deal. He is what Pollard was a few years ago, with a sensational knock that gave Trinidad and Tobago a victory from the jaws of defeat.

Brathwaite went one step further doing it for his country and that too in the World Cup Final. His 34 off just 10 balls was sensational and the 4 sixes to win the World Cup with his team needing 19 off the last over, is definitely the cricketing moment of the year and will be for the rest of the year.

Brathwaite also had a great day with the ball, picking up 3 wickets with his medium pace – those of Joe Root, Jos Buttler and David Willey. Delhi Daredevils, one of the most under-performing teams of the IPL, picked him up for 4.2 crore rupees and he may be instrumental in turning the fortunes of the franchise around.

It will help that he will have the mentorship of none other than Rahul Dravid.
