Samuels was always a man for the big occasion, as he proved in both of West Indies’ title wins in two T20 World Cups. In 2012, he scored 78 off 56 balls against Sri Lanka in the finals while four years later, he played a brilliant knock of 85 not out which helped Windies seal a four-wicket win against England at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
Samuels represented several T20 franchises around the world in his career, including Pune Warriors, Delhi Daredevils, Melbourne Renegades and Peshawar Zalmi.
He played 15 matches in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in which he could score 161 runs and scalped nine wickets.
