Repeatedly launching the bowling of Ben Stokes into a steamy Indian night to win the 2016 T20 World Cup final grew to feel like a “burden and a curse” for Carlos Brathwaite. As the giant West Indian all-rounder sent a fourth successive delivery from the England star over the ropes, prompting scenes of jubilation and desolation in equal measure inside Kolkata’s Eden Gardens stadium, commentator Ian Bishop bellowed: “Carlos Brathwaite.

A former bodybuilder who grew up in a Pakistani refugee camp and idolises Arnold Schwarzenegger has captained Afghanistan to victory in a cosmopolitan Hong Kong Cricket Sixes that “showcased this vibrant city to the world”.
