Cricket is a funny game. It is a simple sport of bat and ball, but the drama and intensity that the sport generates is unmatched. Over the years, fans have witnessed some unreal things in this sport’s history, be it international cricket or the club matches.
The best thing about the sport is that it brings the best out of every individual, and everyone plays to win. However, sometimes, the players get extra aggressive due to a wrong decision from the umpire, who plays a crucial role in the match as well.
In this article now, we will look at the two such batters who took their frustrations out in a unique manner after they lost their wickets in a match.
1. Carlos Brathwaite smashed his helmet out of the boundary line after losing wicket
Everyone remembers the name of Carlos Brathwaite, thanks to the four sixes he hit in the T20 World Cup 2016 Final against England. The West Indies legend even played a memorable knock in the 2019 World Cup match against New Zealand, where the Men in Maroon suffered a heartbreaking defeat.

In case you didn’t know, Brathwaite is currently playing for the New York Strikers in the Caribbean Max60 tournament. In yesterday’s match, Brathwaite was wrongly adjudged caught behind when a ball from Josh Little hit his shoulder and traveled to wicketkeeper Ben Dunk. After that, Brathwaite took his helmet out and smashed it past the boundary rope.
2. Matthew Wade
Matthew Wade was absolutely furious after losing his wicket in the IPL 2022 match between Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The Australian wicketkeeper batter is known for playing every match with 100% passion.
Despite his best efforts, Wade could not score big in the league. He lost his cool after getting dismissed in a match against RCB, and then, he threw his helmet and smashed his bat multiple times in the dressing room.
