Dwayne Bravo: A Brief Biography

Northern Superchargers Men v London Spirit Men - The Hundred

Dwayne John Bravo is a former West Indies cricketer and was one of the best all-rounders in the T20 format of the game. He was born on October 7, 1983, in Santa Cruz, Trinidad and Tobago. The all-rounder was a right-handed batter and a right-handed medium-fast bowler. Self-proclaimed as ‘Sir Champion,” the Trinidadian added a Caribbean flavor to cricket and lived up to his name. His on-field celebratory gestures and dance moves were the icing on the cake atop his cricketing expertise.

With the bat, the West Indian clobbered the ball out of the park with an extended bat swing, a delight to watch for the T20 enthusiasts. His agile fielding and sharp catching made him a bankable fielder who was entrusted to stand at the edge of the boundary cushions. As a bowler, Bravo was renowned for his trademark juicy full-toss dips in sharply in the last moment like a football free-kick and knocked over the stumps.

The 40-year-old cricketer announced his retirement from all forms of cricket on September 27, 2024. His unmatched energy and contagious zeal presented what a Caribbean cricketer could bring to the table. With one of T20’s very own globetrotters calling time on his decorated career, Bravo has left behind a huge void in the shortest format of the game.

Dwayne Bravo IPL Career

It was only fitting that Dwayne Bravo made his IPL debut for the Mumbai Indians (MI) against what turned out to be their eventual rivals Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in the inaugural edition of the IPL. He went wicketless in his maiden outing but managed to play a cameo which went in vain as the Super Kings won by a close margin of 6 runs.

After plying his skills for the Mumbai Indians in the first three seasons where he played 30 matches and took 26 wickets, Bravo was taken up by the Chennai Super Kings ahead of the 2011 IPL. He went on to become one of the main faces of the franchise along with skipper MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina. His persona matched the franchise's fan base and he was one of the vital cogs of Chennai's success.

He also performed well in the 2013 IPL playing for Chennai Super Kings, taking 32 wickets at an average of 9.15 to win the Purple Cap and overthrow Albie Morkel to become Chennai Super Kings's leading wicket-taker. His all-round usefulness led the CSK think tank to retain him ahead of the 2014 season.

During IPL 2014, he sustained a shoulder injury in the first match against Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) and was subsequently ruled out of the remaining matches. In the IPL 2015 season, he returned to win the coveted Purple Cap with 26 wickets. Ahead of IPL 2016, the former West Indian all-rounder was picked by the new team and now-defunct Gujarat Lions in the player draft. An injury ruled him out of the IPL 2017 season.

Come 2018 IPL Player auction, he was picked up by CSK at INR 6.40 crores using the Right-to-Match card. In the very first game in the Super Kings' return to the IPL fold after facing a two-year suspension, Bravo staged one of the greatest innings in IPL history. Against arch-rivals and his former team Mumbai Indians, he rescued CSK from the jaws of defeat to announce their arrival and give the millions of fans a chance to rejoice in their comeback. Bravo was instrumental in scripting a fairytale comeback for the Super Kings that inspired them to clinch their third IPL title in that season.

In what turned out to be a rare dismal season for the Super Kings in IPL 2020, Bravo was ruled out of the tournament with a groin injury in the middle of the season. The West Indian was once again instrumental in the Super Kings lifting their fourth IPL trophy in IPL 2021.

The CSK mainstay was bought back for INR 4.40 crores in the IPL 2022 mega auction. He announced his retirement from IPL in December 2022 and succeeded Lakshmipathy Balaji as their bowling coach. After experiencing mixed results in the two seasons, Bravo decided to part ways with the CSK unit and decided to take over the reins of Gautam Gambhir in KKR’s setup as their mentor for IPL 2025.

Dwayne Bravo International Career

Dwayne Bravo has been a household name in the T20 formats. Despite his T20 prowess, his all-format exploits have been foreshadowed. He was a dedicated servant of the West Indian cricket team, both on and off the field. The former West Indian all-rounder announced his international retirement in 2018 but came out of it to defend the Men in Maroon’s title in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. He announced his retirement from international cricket once and for all after featuring in the final league game at the T20 World Cup 2021.

Dwayne Bravo ODI Career

Dwayne Bravo picked up two crucial wickets of Andrew Strauss and Marcus Trescothick in his ODI debut against England at Georgetown in April 2004. In his third match, a brisk 12 runs in 6 balls helped West Indies to seal the match. He was part of the victorious West Indies squad that won the ICC Champions Trophy in September 2004.

In May 2006, Bravo steered West Indies to victory against India with an unbeaten 61 and taking three wickets in the fourth ODI along with holding his nerve to pick Yuvraj Singh at a crucial time in the second ODI. In what eventually turned out to be his standout and go-to deliveries, Bravo credits that particular ball to the southpaw that went on to change his life and make the world notice his potential in the shortest format of the game. In the ICC Champions Trophy 2006 held in India, Bravo registered his maiden ODI century against England.

Bravo played in all of West Indies games at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 in the West Indies. He had a disappointing World Cup scoring 129 runs at an average of 21.50. Although he took 13 wickets at 27.76, his economy rate was 5.56, which was pretty costly at that time. He was ruled out of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 in India due to a knee injury when he slipped at the wicket while bowling to a South African batter on February 24 in Delhi. He was rested for four weeks and could not participate further in the tournament.

In the second ODI of the West Indies’s tour of Zimbabwe in 2013, Bravo grabbed his first and only five-wicket haul in ODIs. He returned with figures of 10-1-43-6 and recorded the third-best bowling figures in an innings by a captain in ODIs in the process. Bravo pulled out from the India tour due to a dispute over payment structure with the West Indies board after the fourth ODI in October 2014 which was eventually his last ODI. Owing to the payment disparities, Bravo was also overlooked from the radar of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015.

Dwayne Bravo Test Career

Three months after his international debut, Dwayne Bravo took three wickets scoring 44 and 10 in the two innings in his Test debut against England at Lord’s. In the same series, the former all-rounder picked up his maiden Test five-wicket haul in the fourth test in Manchester. He displayed grit scoring 77 runs and scalping six wickets for 55. Bravo amassed 213 runs in two Tests against Australia including a patient 113 in Hobart and 6 for 86 in Adelaide in November 2005. Due to injury and preference for T-20 leagues, Bravo played only 40 tests out of 81 tests of West Indies till 2013. He played his last Test in December 2010 ultimately retiring in January 2015 from the Test format.

Dwayne Bravo T20I Career

On his T20I debut, Dwayne Bravo evinced his all-round skill taking two wickets and scoring 19 runs off 16 balls in a tied game against New Zealand in Auckland in February 2006. He scored 154 runs at 38.50 taking 10 wickets at 18.40 in the ICC World Twenty20 2009. Bravo’s four wickets and 66 runs off 36 balls won the match against India at Lord’s.

Bravo played in the ICC World Twenty20 2010 which was hosted by the West Indies. He could manage to pick up just 5 wickets in 5 innings. An injury meant that Bravo played mostly as a pure batter at the ICC World Twenty20 2012 held in Sri Lanka. He was part of the victorious squad that scripted history by defeating hosts Sri Lanka in the final. In the subsequent ICC World T20 held in Bangladesh in 2014, Bravo and skipper Darren Sammy forged a match-winning partnership of 71 runs against Pakistan to help the defending champions storm into the semifinals.

He then played in all of the West Indies games at the 2016 ICC World T20 in India, which the West Indies won.

His high-quality death bowling is considered to be one of the main reasons that the West Indies won the title.

In early 2020, Bravo earned a surprise recall to the West Indies T20I side with it being a World Cup year and one more T20 World Cup scheduled in 2021. However, with the World Cup postponed due to COVID-19, it was needed to be seen if Bravo was to get a second call-up or not.

Bravo eventually returned to T20Is and was recalled to defend the West Indies title at the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 held in the United Arab Emirates and Oman.

The defending champions only managed to pick up a solitary victory and crashed out of the group stage itself. Bravo announced his international retirement after the final fixture against Australia and was given a guard of honor.
