Carlos Brathwaite became popular after his smashing knocks in the final of the 2016 T20 World Cup against England. He thrashed 4 consecutive sixes in the last over of Ben Stokes and took West Indies to win the title. Brathwaite blasted to chase when the team required 19 runs in the last over; the last 6 balls.
The clashing final took place at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata. And hence they named the baby Eden Rose. He shared the good news on Instagram with the caption, "REMEMBER THE NAME Eden Rose Brathwaite D.O.B 2/6/22 You were worth the wait you gorgeous little girl. Daddy promises to love you with all his heart. Thank you @jessipurple246 You are strong , you are resilient and I know you'll be an amazing mother. Love you both x."
His immense success in the 2016 T20 World Cup gained him the captaincy of the West Indies' T20I team. Unfortunately, Carlos Braithwaite didn't last long as the captain and he won 11 matches in 30 for the West Indies.
