The game went down to the wire. Ben Stokes was handed the responsibility to bowl the final over of the match by England cricket team captain Eoin Morgan.

Unfortunately, it was not the day of the England cricket team’s star all-rounder. He ended up conceding four consecutive sixes to West Indies team’s all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite. Soon after the fourth six was smashed, the commentator Ian Bishop called the famous line “Carlos Brathwaite, Carlos Brathwaite! Remember the name.”

While Asif did not smash four back-to-back sixes, he did hit four sixes in the 19th over of the game to guide Pakistan cricket team home with five wickets in hand.
