Kolkata Knight Riders have announced Dwayne Bravo as the mentor. He comes in place of Gautam Gambhir, who has moved from the franchise to the Indian team. The Chennai Super Kings legend was formerly the bowling coach for the Men in Yellow prior to this appointment.

Bravo also expressed his enthusiasm for this new chapter. "I've been part of the Trinbago Knight Riders for the last 10 years in the CPL. Having played for and against the Knight Riders in various leagues, I have a lot of respect for how they operate. The owners' passion, the professionalism of the management, and the family-like environment make it a special place. This is the perfect platform for me as I transition from playing to mentoring and coaching the next generation of players."

Over his illustrious career, he has played 582 T20 matches, taken 631 wickets, and scored nearly 7,000 runs. With more championship wins than any other cricketer, Bravo's experience is unparalleled.

Venky Mysore, CEO of Knight Riders Group, shared his excitement about the appointment: "DJ Bravo joining us is an exciting development. His relentless drive to win, along with his vast experience and deep knowledge, will greatly benefit our franchise and players. We're also pleased that Bravo will be involved with our other franchises globally, including CPL, MLC, and ILT20."
