Dwayne Bravo was one of the most prominent players to not feature in the list of 991 cricketers who were named in the initial list of players who will be auctioned at the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 Auction. While the cricket world wondered about the reason, Bravo dropped another bombshell by announcing his retirement from the coveted tournament. However, the 39-year-old is all set to join Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as their new bowling coach.

It is pertinent to mention that Bravo was one of the biggest names that were not retained by the IPL franchises ahead of the IPL 2023 auctions. Bravo is undoubtedly one of the greatest players to ever feature in the tournament. The Caribbean player played in every season of IPL, except for the 2017 season when he failed to appear for Gujarat Titans due to an injury.

While the cricket fans in India were excited to see Bravo re-joining CSK with a new job role, they were also upset about the fact that the Caribbean player will not ply his trade as a player. “Thank you, Dwayne Bravo for the amazing memories in the field as a player. You're one of the greatest ever to play IPL. And all the best for next chapter in IPL as coach with CSK!,” a Twitter user wrote.
