'Carlos Braithwaite, Remember The Name': Ian Bishop Tells The Story Behind The Iconic Line
Former West Indies cricketer turned commentator Ian Bishop recalled the story of how the 'remember the name' term came into his mind. Bishop's comments on air became unforgettable after Carlos Brathwaite slammed the fourth six of his innings to power West Indies to their second men's T20 World Cup title in 2016 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, defeating England in the final.
"That 2016 final call was not planned. The day before the final, I went to a function in Kolkata, a businessman's function. We had to have a question-and-answer session. One of the questions was, are there any players, apart from the obvious ones, in the West Indies team for the final that we should look at. So, I eliminated a few players, the Gayles, the Badrees, etc. And I said, 'Carlos Brathwaite'. He is built like a house, he is bowling well, he could be a game-changer. I never said, he would. I just said ‘he could be' and he is someone to look out for," said Bishop in a video posted by the T20 World Cup Twitter handle on Thursday.
