Dwayne Bravo is one of the best all-rounders when it comes to the shortest format of the game. He has performed so well that many consider him the best all-rounder in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and why not? No one has stats like him in IPL.
When this West Indian all-rounder comes out to bowl for CSK in Match No.7 of IPL 2022 against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), he will have a chance to break a very huge record in the history of IPL.
In the last match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Bravo took 3 wickets for 20 runs in 4 overs but unfortunately, that was not enough for Chennai to win the match as other bowlers failed to take wickets.
