#4 Dwayne Bravo

DJ Bravo

Dwayne Bravo is often regarded as one of the best bowlers at the back end of the innings. His precise and unconventional bowling style not only restrict runs but he also picks some crucial wickets in the slog overs which makes him irreplaceable.

After spending three seasons with Mumbai Indians, he was bought by Chennai Super Kings in the 2011 IPL auctions. The following year he scored 461 runs and took 19 wickets to lead CSK into the finals.

Bravo has the capability to finish any game with the bat; however, it’s with the ball that he causes most of his damage. The 35-year-old has 136 dismissals in his IPL career with an excellent strike rate of 17.06. He is the fourth highest wicket-taker in the IPL and the only all-rounder to score more than 1,000 runs and pick more than 100 wickets in the history of the IPL.
