<p>Out-of-favour West Indies all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite smashed his helmet like a cricket ball and broke it as he showed dissent over an umpiring howler during the MAX60 Caribbean T10 tournament in the Cayman Islands. Known for his heroic finish in the 2016 T20 World Cup final (against England), wherein he hit Ben Stokes for four consecutive sixes to win the tournament for his team, Brathwaite was raging with anger over the faulty call on his dismissal.</p>

<p>The video of him smashing his helmet went viral on social media.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Brathwaite walked in to bat at number seven during the Super Three contest for New York Strikers against the Grand Cayman Jaguars, but was adjudged caught behind by the umpires for seven off five balls. Going by the live visual, it appeared he nicked a short ball off Irish seamer Joshua Little straight to the keeper.</p>

<p>However, the replays suggested that the ball brushed off his shoulder onto the keeper.&nbsp;</p>
