In a move that has sent shockwaves through the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) fanbase, franchise legend Dwayne Bravo has joined arch-rivals Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) as their mentor ahead of the IPL 2025 season. Bravo, a linchpin in CSK’s journey to several IPL titles, announced his retirement from all forms of cricket after suffering an injury during the 2024 Caribbean Premier League (CPL).
CSK Fans in Disbelief Over Bravo's Switch to KKR
However, it was the bombshell revelation just hours after his emotional farewell that set social media abuzz – Dwayne Bravo would now don the purple and gold of KKR, leaving behind the iconic yellow brigade.
For CSK fans, this transition feels like a bitter pill to swallow. Bravo’s name is synonymous with CSK's unparalleled dominance over the past decade. Whether it was his death bowling, clever change-ups, or clutch batting performances in nail-biting situations, he became a pillar of CSK's success story.
The news of him crossing over to KKR has left many fans in disbelief, with some even calling it one of the most heartbreaking moments in the team’s history.
“CSK management had one job, to keep Dwayne Bravo with CSK,” wrote an irate fan on Twitter. “We won't forget the journey of Tushar Deshpande to Tushar McGrath,” they added, referencing Bravo's contribution to transforming bowlers within the squad.
Another disheartened supporter tweeted, “If Bravo has indeed joined KKR, then that is one of the most heartbreaking personnel losses. Bravo is through and through CSK, for our bowlers, for our fans. This hurts so much.”

It’s evident that the fans are feeling like they've been dealt a bad hand, with many equating Bravo's departure to the loss of a family member. The reaction was swift and emotional, flooding Twitter with memes and heartfelt messages expressing their sadness and disbelief.
Here's a look at how fans reacted:
Bravo’s move is seen as a dagger in the heart of CSK supporters, many of whom have watched him not only evolve into a champion player but also become the embodiment of the CSK spirit. His on-field celebrations, his knack for delivering in crunch moments, and his camaraderie with teammates left a lasting imprint on the franchise.
Bravo Excited For KKR Stint
Despite the outpouring of emotion from CSK fans, Bravo seems thrilled about this new chapter in his career. In his statement, Bravo expressed his long-standing admiration for the Knight Riders family, having played for the Trinbago Knight Riders in the CPL for over a decade.
KKR, too, seems to be embracing Bravo with open arms, as they aim to rebuild and strengthen for the upcoming seasons. Bravo will replace Gautam Gambhir, another KKR icon.
