Carlos Brathwaite made himself an instant hero in the Caribbean when he smashed four successive sixes off Ben Stokes to win the 2016 World Twenty20 for West Indies.
But who are the burly Barbadian's sporting heroes - on both the cricket field and the football pitch?
During an interview with Sky Sports' IPL reporter Mark Butcher - Brathwaite is currently playing for Delhi Daredevils in the competition - the 27-year-old explained why he looks up to India legend Rahul Dravid and revealed, perhaps surprisingly, that he used to bat like him!
The all-rounder also spoke about which of his West Indies team-mates and which headline-making former England batsman he admires.
Plus, Brathwaite, a fan of Manchester United and Fiorentina, discussed his respect for footballers Cristiano Ronaldo, Gabriel Batistuta and Rui Costa.
Watch the video above to hear Brathwaite discuss his sporting idols and then catch his Delhi Daredevils side in action against Rising Pune Supergiants at 3pm, Thursday, Sky Sports 2.
