Carlos Brathwaite's helmet-smashing action goes viral after controversial expulsion

Details of the controversial dismissal

The controversy arose when a short ball from Joshua Little hit Brathwaite's shoulder before being caught behind the stumps.

Although no contact with the bat was evident, the referee raised his finger in an appeal for “caught behind”.

This decision frustrated Brathwaite and led to him smashing his helmet on the way back to the pavilion.

He also threw his bat after approaching the dugout.
