Twitter Reactions as Windies hit four sixes off four balls to become Champions
In what was possibly the best final in World Cup history, West Indian Carlos Brathwaite just hit four sixes in the first fours balls of the last over to win the 2016 World T20. The Twitter world went just as crazy as the West Indian players on the field, and here are the best tweets from the match.
The world wants to see the celebration.

Not sure how to react to this joke.
West Indies bowlers not getting their line & length against Root, cuz "iss Root ki sabhi linein vyasta hain". #ENGvWI

Score the runs. Take the wickets.
Virat Kohli & Joe Root should combine to form a superhero - Viroot Kohli.
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Its Super Joe!
Joe Root:

I’m sure you need some acting skills too. No? Okay then. Get in!
Samuels is exposing all three stumps. If he exposed any more, he'll play the lead character in Mahesh Bhatt's next #WIvsEng #WT20Final

Fairly accurate!
This WT20 , Sammy & Morgan have been like Project managers. Does nothing, still enjoys the success and gets credits #WT20Final

West Indies just needed to replicate Lagaan.
Aamir Khan saab should come to bat now...Only he could defeat these Firangis.. #WT20Final

And he did not lose a single toss in the entire World Cup.
Sammy is such an ordinary cricketer. Bats rarely. Bowls rarely. His chief role in the team is to go for the toss. #WT20Final
