IPL 2018, DD vs CSK: 5 players to look forward to 

Dwayne Bravo

Can the real Dwayne Bravo please stand up? That would be what MSD would hope to see in the remainder of the games heading into the playoffs. He is the bowler CSK trusts to go to when it comes to death bowling.

And Dwayne Bravo has been a letdown this IPL. He hasn’t had much of a hit post his heroics in the IPL 2018 opener against MI where he singlehandedly won CSK won the game from a losing cause.

Like Deepak Chahar, even Dwayne Bravo has a fixed role in the CSK side. It is to bowl 3-4 overs at the death overs and be relatively inexpensive. And with the bat, come and tee off from the first ball. His bowling has tapered off, as his variations have been easy to pick.

Someone who regularly takes wickets at the death overs has been very expensive and that is a serious concern for CSK heading into the playoffs. With Kieron Pollard making an emphatic return to the MI team, can Dwayne “DJ” Bravo also find his lost form?

The fans at the Kotla and DD would hope not, but for the tournament as a whole, it would be really nice to have Dwayne Bravo return to his confident, aggressive and attacking best.
