West Indies cricket legend Dwayne Bravo was given a special honour late Saturday night during the CPL 2026 season. Knight Riders’ CEO Venky Mysore was seen holding up jersey number 47 that Bravo wore during the course of his career for his national team and various franchises he was part of.

He was flanked by his family and close ones when the jersey was retired. It is worth noting that Bravo is a resident of Trinidad and Tobago and has played first-class cricket and T20 Cricket for his hometown. In 89 CPL matches for the TKR franchise, he scored 974 runs with two fifties and also took 115 wickets with a best of 5/23.

In IPL, the cricketer began his stint with Mumbai Indians, where he played for three years. This was followed by a long and successful tenure with Chennai Super Kingswhere he won titles, and then represented the Gujarat Lions in 2016.

The 43-year-old retired from all forms of cricket in 2024 after playing his final game for TKR against Saint Lucia Kings in front of his home crowd. Dwayne didn’t bowl in the contest and retired hurt after facing just two balls. He is currently with the Knight Riders franchise serving as a coach for their multiple teams.
