Brathwaite becomes the Calypso king
When Delhi Daredevils bid a staggering 4.2cr rupees, people were flabbergasted. “Brath-who?” quipped people as they couldn’t fathom why Delhi spent so much of their budget on a relatively unknown player.
But today he showed why.
As 19 runs were required off the last over, the game was supposed to be as good as over the Windies. But, as they say, it’s never over before the finish line. Brathwaite started off with a six. 13 in 5. Still a hard chase. Another six. 7 off 4. Now, the momentum was in WI’s favour.
And he did it. He hit 2 more sixes to finish it off. The best part? Two of them were completely untimed—just goes to show his raw power.
His bowling figures were spectacular too as he finished the game with an economy of less than 6, ending his quota of 4 overs after taking 3 wickets and conceding just 23 runs.
