Dwayne Bravo, the star all-rounder from the Caribbean, has joined Kolkata Knight Riders as a mentor for IPL 2025 following his retirement from all forms of cricket. Bravo was the bowling coach of CSK for the 2023 and 2024 seasons but has now decided to move to the camp of the current IPL champions, where he is all set to replace Gautam Gambhir as the mentor.

Along with managing Kolkata Knight Riders, Bravo would also act as a mentor of all other Knight Riders teams around the world in leagues like MLC, CPL, and ILT20.
