Dwayne Bravo, the former West Indies all-rounder, has announced his retirement from professional cricket after a distinguished 21-year career, citing physical strain from a recent groin injury. Following his retirement, Bravo has joined the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) as a mentor for the upcoming IPL 2025 season, succeeding Gautam Gambhir. He expressed gratitude for his cricketing journey and emphasized the importance of not letting down his teammates. As the most successful bowler in T20 history with 631 wickets, Bravo's extensive experience will be invaluable to KKR. He has also been active in coaching, having served as the bowling coach for Chennai Super Kings and the Afghanistan national team. Bravo plans to oversee other Knight Riders franchises globally, furthering his commitment to the sport.
