Carlos Brathwaite managed only 57 runs during the tournament. 34 of those runs were in the final
Carlos Brathwaite was made a West Indies icon on 3 April 2016.
England was just a few runs away from glory in the World T20 final at Kolkata. He was on strike. His side needed 19 runs to win the final over.
Brathwaite pulled it off in style by hitting Ben Stokes four times consecutively for sixes, as West Indies won one of the greatest victories ever with just two balls.
The West Indies will defend that title against England on Saturday in Dubai.
Brathwaite discusses BBC Sport's tournament, match, and final over to mark the occasion. This will be a lasting memory.
The underdogs bite back
Brathwaite, although not selected for the West Indies team initially, was brought in to replace injured Kieron pollard. The West Indies beat expectations by beating England, South Africa, and Sri Lanka to win their group, before defeating India in the semis.
We were excited and confident going into the tournament. However, everyone predicted that we would finish just above Afghanistan and go out in the first round. We thought we had everything to win - nobody expects us to do anything. So we'll just go for it.
"We had a T20 team that had played in the Indian Premier League and was very well-equipped to play in the World Cup.
"We were used to T20 cricket, the grounds and the crowd. We were shocked that we weren't considered favourites, but were happy to be underdogs.
"Everything clicked. There wasn't one player that won the game. We received contributions from many players.
"After the semi-final we had a nice session of steel pan on the lunch tins. Everyone was at the Mumbai lunch table and playing pots and pans. It was a great atmosphere, with some jingles and everybody dancing.
The West Indies' final hope fades
England won the final with 155-9, while Brathwaite gave figures of 3-23. These numbers would soon be forgotten. West Indies fell to 11-3. When number eight Brathwaite joined Marlon Samps at 107-6 they needed 49 balls.
"Darren Sammy was out, and we looked around to see who would be the next out. I got up and went out to bat. It was a huge task that I realized only later.
Marlon was adamant that it was all about getting bat on ball. This is something I worked hard at. You might miss the ball entirely if you attempt to score fours or sixes in the final parts of the game.
It came down to 27 balls from 12 balls. Chris Jordan conceded only eight of the final overs.
"Marlon scored a boundary very early, and Chris Jordan then bowled brilliantly and hit every yorker.
"I can remember thinking that it was a difficult task back then."

Six balls, 19 runs required
Brathwaite had already scored 10 from six balls before he faced Stokes. Samuels was unbeaten at the end of the non-striker's match, scoring 85 off 66.
"I looked at the scoreboard and thought this was a great chase. It all comes down to six balls. After that, I tuned out. Concentrate on the ball. Keep your eyes on the ball. Marlon will strike when you get it up in the air.
19.1 overs: Stokes is wrong. Brathwaite lobs the ball deep backward into the stand behind.
"Ball one was downleg and I helped it along. It flew off the bat beautifully when I began to run. Marlon was running around the stumps, fist pumping. "I was in a good area, but that was only one ball. I had to calm down."
19.2 overs: Fuller at Stokes on leg stump but Brathwaite smashes it over long-on for an enormous six.
"Ball 2 came off the bat very sweetly. It felt good. Marlon was making a lot of big comments. I told him to relax, we haven’t won it yet."
19.3 overs: Straight from Stokes. Brathwaite does not middle it, but still clears long-off.
"Ball three was a little bit of a shank. My wife was in the crowd when I looked at her. It was only now that I realized we were in this together. There's only one more run before I can enjoy the atmosphere and soak up the atmosphere. I looked at the crowd and gave them fist pumps.
"At that moment, I knew that I could let my guard down to enjoy the moment. It gives me chills just thinking about it. It was indescribable. Although it only lasted a few seconds, it felt almost like time had stopped.
You have put so much effort into it that you want to be able to enjoy the moment and soak in all of the glory. It happened in India against England, who are the old enemy.
"The first few balls were very fast, but the third ball was more interesting. There was some interaction between Stokes, Eoin Morgan and Marlon so I had time to enjoy it.
"The camera phones were out with their lights on and captured the moment.
It was like I had earned the five seconds to truly enjoy the fruits and vegetables of my labor. You have spent all your life wishing you could go to sleep, and in the gym. It all flashed in front of my eyes."
19.4 overs. Stokes moves on to the pads. Brathwaite lifts the ball high above mid-wicket. Brathwaite is already screaming, arms outstretched before the ball reaches the mid-wicket boundary. Samuels gives him a bear hug before he is surrounded by his teammates as they race on to the pitch.
"Then ball four, it came from the middle and the rest is history."
West Indies only lost one match to Afghanistan in the group stage en route to winning the T20 World Cup
Celebrations and sharing a moment of Stokes
"Carlos Brathwaite! Remember the name!" Ian Bishop, the commentator, screamed. Brathwaite had just played one of the greatest limited overs innings in all of history in the most exciting climax of a World Cup final in historical times - hours after West Indies had won Women's World T20 at the same ground.
"We made a lap around the pitch to honor the crowd. My wife and the West Indies women’s team came down. We danced on the pitch.
"After that, I video-called my relatives. Everybody from the village came over to congratulate mum. As they passed my home, I could hear people shouting and cars honking.
"Then, I went to Stokes. Jordan and I are very close, so I asked Jordan if Stokes was still available. I had been collecting jerseys from players I liked throughout the tournament and I knew I wanted his jersey after that game.
"I told him that somebody had had to win, and somebody had had to lose. But I had great respect for you and all you've accomplished so far."
He gave me his jersey and we shared a moment of mutual respect. It was great to share the moment and to talk to another competitor. I let him know that I still respect his journey and had a good time.
"The night was amazing. I enjoyed the performance and being able share it with my wife and my family via video call. Then, I was able connect with the opponent.
"It was one night of my life."
