However, the Caribbean all-rounder has made 138 international appearances so far, including 15 Tests, 93 ODI’s and 40 T20I’s. Bravo has announced that the T20 match against Pakistan will be the last T20 match, playing in his country. He said this during a team huddle. Meanwhile, he has been a great form in the shortest format of the game and so far he has won two trophies as well, in 2012 and 2016.
Apart from his swashbuckling batting, he is also a very economical bowler and has the ability to trouble the opponents in the death overs. He is also considered a death-over specialist. He picked up 76 wickets from 85 T20 matches to become the highest wicket-taker from his side in the shortest format of the game as well.
However, along with playing for the West Indies team, he has featured in several T20 franchise leagues around the globe as well. And, he is one of the key players of Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) as well. Meanwhile, if the rumours are to be true, this IPL season might be the end of his IPL career as well.
