Dwayne Bravo, one of T20 cricket’s most decorated players, on Wednesday promised to instill his “champion mentality” in Kolkata Knight Riders as their new mentor for the upcoming Indian Premier League season.
Replacing Gautam Gambhir, who guided the franchise to their third title last year, Bravo is determined to build on KKR’s recent success and ensure they remain a force to be reckoned with.
One of the format’s most accomplished all-rounders, Bravo is no stranger to success. With 631 wickets and record 17 T20 franchise titles to his name, he understands what it takes to win.
“I’d like to bring in the champion mentality. I believe in winning. My records speak for themselves, but at the end of the day, it’s about the next generation of cricketers and helping them become champions in their own way,” Bravo said during the ‘Knights Unplugged 2.0’ event.
“KKR is a team hugely respected worldwide. When I was playing, a couple of guys used to be a nightmare to face. Happy to be part of this setup now,” Bravo added.
He spoke about how he has been lucky to captain a few of the current KKR players when they played for Trinidad & Tobago.
“Lucky to have captained some of them in Trinidad & Tobago. The decision to join was an easy one. I want to continue the legacy and ensure KKR remains a household name around the world,” Bravo said.
