Veteran Dwayne Bravo has announced retirement from the Indian Premier League (IPL) but will remain with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in a new role.
Bravo will take up the team’s bowling coach role ahead of IPL 2023, stated by the franchise in a statement on Friday.

“I’m looking forward to this new journey because it’s something I see myself doing after my playing days is fully over. I enjoy working with bowlers and it’s a role I’m excited about. From player to coach, I don’t think I have to adjust much because while I’m playing, I always work with bowlers and try to come up with plans and ideas on how to have that one step ahead of the batsmen. The only difference is I will no longer be standing at mid-on or mid-off,” said Bravo.
“I never thought I would be the leading wicket-taker in the history of IPL. But I’m just happy to be a part of IPL history!” he added.
Bravo is the highest-ever wicket-taker in the IPL, with 183 wickets from 161 matches. The all-rounder has also scored 1560 runs at a strike rate of around 130.
Dj Bravo joined CSK in 2011, where he won three titles with the franchise in 2011, 2018, and 2021 and the Champions League T20 victory in 2014.
