“Time For Revenge”: Fans React When Ben Stokes Strikes Carlos Brathwaite For 16 Runs For

Ben Stokes smashed 16 runs in Carlos Brathwaite’s over in the T20 match between Durham and Warwickshire

West Indies cricketer Carlos Brathwaite’s heroics against England’s Ben Stokes during the T20 World Cup final is a well-known incident amongst cricket fans. West Indies required 19 off 6 balls to win the trophy, with Stokes bowling the final over for his side. But Brathwaite had other plans, smashing four sixes off the first four deliveries, which helped his side claim the title in the 2016 T20 World Cup. Fast forward to 2021, the England all-rounder finally got his revenge during a T20 Blast match against Warwickshire, also known as Birmingham Bears, on Saturday. Stokes slammed multiple boundaries against his arch-nemesis, which was applauded by his fans on social media.

Here is a video of Stokes hitting a Brathwaite delivery to the stands:
