Who is the heaviest cricketer in the world? The answer is- Rahkeem Cornwall. With his first step on the world cricket scene in 2019, Rahkeem became the world's heaviest Test cricketer. Then he broke the record of former Australian captain Warwick Armstrong, who weighed 139 kg and played 99 years before his Test debut i.e. in 1920. However, West Indies all-rounder Rahkeem Cornwall is currently in the news not because of this but because of his bowling in the T20 match. He has wreaked such havoc with the ball on the pitch of CPL 2024, which has been seen for the first time in his career.

Dealt with half the team alone
