Dwayne Bravo takes charge as Kolkata Knight Riders’ new mentor



0CgAMkuAvf

‌A day after announcing his retirement from international cricket, West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo has been appointed as the new mentor for Kolkata Knight Riders. The 40-year-old takes over from Gautam Gambhir, who guided KKR to their first IPL title since 2014 earlier this year. Gambhir stepped down from the role to become the head coach of India’s senior men’s team. With this move, Bravo also concludes his association with Chennai Super Kings, where he served as the bowling coach during the IPL 2024 season.

CEO of KKR Venky Mysore took to their official website and shared his thoughts about Bravo’s new role. He said, “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.”

In his final season in the Caribbean Premier League, Dwayne Bravo’s stint with the Trinbago Knight Riders was prematurely ended due to injury. The all-rounder, who holds the record as the highest wicket-taker in T20s, officially announced his retirement on Friday.

Expressing his excitement for the new role, Bravo said. “ I’ve been part of the Trinbago Knight Riders for the last 10 years in the CPL. Having played for and against the Knight Riders in various leagues, I have a lot of respect for how they operate. The owners’ passion, the professionalism of the management, and the family-like environment make it a special place. This is the perfect platform for me as I transition from playing to mentoring and coaching the next generation of players.”
