Notably, Dwayne Bravo has been a part of the IPL since the beginning. Before being picked by CSK in 2011, he has spent three years with Mumbai Indians. Notably, CSK won their second consecutive title that year only. However, he was brought back by CSK before the IPL 2022 in the mega auction as well. Moreover, he has won the Purple Cap twice in the 15 seasons of the cash-rich league. He was the highest wicket-taker in 2013 as well as in 2015, but Chennai Super Kings lost both the finals against Mumbai Indians in these years.
