And, Carlos Brathwaite absolutely decimated Stokes. The big West Indian cricketer hit Stokes for 4 consecutive sixes and helped his side clinch the T20 World Cup title in a dramatic fashion. And, the image of Stokes sitting with his hands on his face is one that will not be forgotten.

And, five years later, the roles were reversed. Ben Stokes absolutely pummeled Brathwaite in the match between Durham and Birmingham Bears in the T20 Blast tournament.
