Chennai Super Kings (CSK) clinched their record-equalling 5th IPL trophy in a thrilling match against the Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2023 final. Despite their relatively inexperienced bowling attack, the CSK bowling unit played a vital role in securing the title. Bowling coach Dwayne Bravo, deserves credit for this achievement.
In a post-match interview, Bravo acknowledged his partnership with fellow bowling coach Eric Simons and praised Tushar Deshpande, the team’s leading wicket-taker. He also took a cheeky dig at Kieron Pollard, who is part of the Mumbai Indians coaching staff.
Bravo expressed satisfaction with Deshpande’s progress and credited the bowling unit and Coach Eric for their contributions. He emphasized their successful partnership and the importance of collaboration. Bravo acknowledged the crucial roles played by other team members and conveyed his belief in the team’s collective effort.
In a playful manner, he added a message to Pollard, implying that his friend has some catching up to do. The banter between Bravo and Pollard dates back to 2013, with Bravo’s amusing send-off to Pollard after dismissing him during a game. It was a response to a WhatsApp message from Pollard, where he jokingly asked Bravo to pack his bags and leave.
