It was former West Indies cricketer Ian Bishop, who was in the commentary box when Brathwaite pulled off a memorable run-chase with 19 runs required in the final over. He famously said, “Carlos Brathwaite, Remember the name ” after the winning six by the Caribbean batter.

Currently, the 33-year-old isn't part of the West Indies team, who are on the India tour for three-ODIs and an equal number of T20Is.
