New Delhi, July 26
Former West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo has credited the Indian Premier League (IPL) for playing a transformative role in his career and in shaping the modern era of cricket.
Reflecting on his IPL journey, Bravo said the league has significantly impacted players worldwide — both financially and in terms of skill development — transforming the landscape of professional cricket.
"IPL hasn’t only helped me; it has helped every cricketer playing the game today — financially and skill-wise," Bravo told IANS. "I’m proud to have played for two of the most successful franchises and to be remembered as one of the best."
Bravo, a key figure for Chennai Super Kings and a former player for Mumbai Indians, remains one of the most decorated overseas cricketers in IPL history. Known for his signature flair, death-over expertise, and dynamic presence, the Trinidadian all-rounder carved a lasting niche in the T20 format. He also served as a mentor for Kolkata Knight Riders in the 2025 edition of the tournament.
His successful stint in the IPL brought accolades and financial success, while also inspiring a generation of Caribbean players to embrace franchise cricket with confidence.
