Islamabad, Sep 27: Dwayne Bravo Becomes KKR Mentor After Retirement
The Indian Premier League’s Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have appointed former West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo as the team’s mentor following his recent retirement from all forms of cricket.
Bravo, a T20 cricket legend with a record 631 wickets from 582 matches, takes over the role from Gautam Gambhir, who stepped down after becoming the head coach of the Indian men’s cricket team in July.
Venky Mysore, CEO of the Knight Riders Group, expressed enthusiasm about Bravo’s extensive experience and winning mentality, viewing them as invaluable assets for the team. Bravo’s involvement is expected to extend beyond the IPL, contributing to the Knight Riders’ global franchises in leagues such as the CPL, MLC, and ILT20.
Reflecting on his new role, Bravo praised KKR for its professionalism and family-like atmosphere, seeing this position as a perfect transition from player to mentor.
As he embarks on this new journey, the cricketing community eagerly anticipates the positive impact he will have on the defending IPL champions.
