Dwayne Bravo announced via social media on Thursday that he has officially retired from cricket.
On Friday morning, the Kolkata Knight Riders unveiled Bravo as a mentor for their franchise.
Venky Mysore, CEO of Knight Riders Group, shared his excitement about the appointment: “DJ Bravo joining us is an exciting development. His relentless drive to win, along with his vast experience and deep knowledge, will greatly benefit our franchise and players. We’re also pleased that Bravo will be involved with our other franchises globally, including CPL, MLC, and ILT20.”
Bravo had been with Indian Premier League rivals the Chennai Super Kings since 2018 as a player and then as a bowling coach upon his retirement from the IPL in 2022. Over his illustrious career, he has played 582 T20 matches, taken 631 wickets, and scored nearly 7,000 runs with more championship wins than any other cricketer in the format.
