IPL 2021: Watch - MS Dhoni Helps CSK Players Plaster Dwayne Bravo’s Face With Cake As He Celebrates His 38th Birthday

Veteran West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo turned 38 on October 7, 2021. The former West Indies captain has been playing international cricket since 2004 and probably will play his final international tournament when the Windies step out to defend their T20 World Cup title in UAE and Oman as the 2021 T20 World Cup begins from October 17 onwards.

Bravo, a cousin of West Indian batting great Brian Lara, made his Test debut against England at Lord’s in 2004, his ODI debut also came against England at home this time in the same year, while his T20I debut came in 2006 against New Zealand. He has played 40 Tests, 164 ODIs, and 86 T20Is for West Indies in his long career.

He has been part of the Chennai Super Kings outfit since 2011 and in between played for Gujarat Lions when CSK was banned for two seasons. A great all-rounder and a team man, Bravo has earned the nickname of ‘Champion’ after his song ‘Bravo Champion’, music is something that the right-handed batter does outside cricket.

Today as he turned 38, Bravo celebrated his birthday with his CSK mates and as custom, Dhoni held him back as the cake was plastered on his face by all CSK players after he had cut the cake.

Here is the video of his birthday celebrations:

In 505 T20 matches, Bravo has 6601 runs with 20 half-centuries at a strike rate of 127.06 and has picked 549 wickets, the only bowler to do so in the format, with a best of 5/23 at an economy of 8.20.
