5 T20 World Cup winning players who failed in IPL

5) Carlos Brathwaite

The West Indies cricket may not be at its peak but one cannot question their supremacy in the shortest format of the game. When on song the Caribbean side can brush aside quality teams. On top of that, this format has helped them revive some of their lost aurae as the country is producing some of the best T20 talents.

One of the main reasons why the island nation has flourished in this set-up is the presence of quality all-rounders in the side. Among them is Carlos Brathwaite who has been a regular member of pristine T20 tournaments. He is a valuable asset and has a good track record in white-ball cricket. Especially nobody can forget his last over bravado in the 2016 WT20 final. He smashed 4 consecutive sixes to send the Caribbean land into a frenzy.

Since then he has been a constant name in the wishlist of most franchises. In IPL Delhi was his first home but after a string of low scores, he found himself again in the auction pool. Hyderabad bagged him before the 2018 edition but he couldn’t nail down a regular place in the playing XI. Then Kolkata placed their bet and it has not been a fruitful one so he might be released very soon.
