Dwayne Bravo

The Indian Premier League did most to turn Bravo into a T20 star. His early seasons with Mumbai were modest, but a move to Chennai changed his fortunes, and he grew into one of the franchise's best-known figures alongside captain MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina. When Chennai spent two years out of the competition, he turned out for Gujarat. At the 2018 auction Chennai brought him back using the right-to-match card. His success led to strong demand from other leagues, and he was frequently among the most coveted names at auctions.

Bravo made his international debut in 2004 and enjoyed a productive spell until 2008, producing several notable Test performances with both bat and ball. Repeated pay disputes with the West Indies board, together with the pull of lucrative leagues, gradually drew him away. He last played a Test in 2010 and formally retired from the format in early 2015.

In late 2014, while captaining the West Indies on an ODI tour of India, he led the team's withdrawal partway through the series. He lost the captaincy and was not picked for one-day internationals again, though he remained part of the T20 side.

Injuries troubled him in late 2016 and early 2017, but he recovered his fitness and showed good form in the 2017-18 Big Bash League season. His effectiveness declined somewhat from 2018-19 onward. In early 2020, a World Cup year with a further T20 World Cup scheduled for 2021, he received an unexpected recall to the West Indies T20I squad.
