Bravo’s Transition from CSK to KKR who has had a stellar career in the Indian Premier League (IPL), previously served as the bowling coach for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) over the last two seasons.

This victory was achieved under the mentorship of former captain Gautam Gambhir, who played a pivotal role in KKR’s successes. However, with Gambhir stepping into the role of Team India’s head coach, KKR seized the opportunity to bring in Bravo, further enhancing their coaching staff.
