In the 1990s, the West Indies' dominance in cricket almost diminished. At that time, a 21-year-old man appeared in the West Indies team. He was able to regain the lost glory of West Indies cricket. Test cricket or one-day cricket, cover drives, pool or square cuts, playing all the aesthetic shots always kept the stadium crowded. He is on the field, which means everyone is looking at his bat with one glance to see his magic style. Just to give joy to the audience? Hitting Shane Warne or Murali, Brett Lee or Shoaib Akhtar, and all the bowlers in the world of cricket, he set all the records one after the other. He set the record himself and broke it himself.
