Also putting an end to all the suspense, CSK have retained all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja.Meanwhile, the Twitterati hailed Bravo for his services to the Chennai franchise over the years. The Windies pacer is the leading wicket-taker in the history of the IPL. In 161 matches, he has claimed 183 wickets at an average of 23.82 and an economy rate of 8.38. The right-arm bowler has two four-wicket hauls to his name with a best of 4/22.Here’s how Twitterati reacted after coming to learn of CSK’s decision to release Bravo, just hours after another West Indies legend, Kieron Pollard, announced his IPL retirement.ANSHUMAN🚩@AvengerReturnsDwayne Bravo is released by CSK after all his contributions, now he might play against them, Pollard retired and choose not to play against Mumbai Indians. 30753Dwayne Bravo is released by CSK after all his contributions, now he might play against them, Pollard retired and choose not to play against Mumbai Indians. ❤️Ajay rajvansh@Ajayrajvansh13@ChennaiIPL @DJBravo47 @DJBravo47 Hopefully @ChennaiIPL will definetly go for u in #IPLAuction...We would luv to see u in #DwayneBravo #WhistlePodu 🥳#cskforever 🏏🫂1@ChennaiIPL @DJBravo47 @DJBravo47 💔 Hopefully @ChennaiIPL will definetly go for u in #IPLAuction...We would luv to see 👀 u in 💛#DwayneBravo #WhistlePodu 🥳#cskforever 🎉🏏💥🫂Navneet@imyuvi___Champion Dwayne Bravo, one more added to this list , thanks for the entertainment @DJBravo47 twitter.com/imyuvi___/stat…Navneet@imyuvi___One more IPL veteran is not going to be part of IPL anymore☹️Gayle,de Villiers, Malinga, Raina, Dhoni's last #IPL not sure if he'll play all the matches & now #PollardPollard vs CSK was something else gave us too many hardtimes particularly in finals , Champion player.One more IPL veteran is not going to be part of IPL anymore☹️Gayle,de Villiers, Malinga, Raina, Dhoni's last #IPL not sure if he'll play all the matches & now #PollardPollard vs CSK was something else gave us too many hardtimes particularly in finals , Champion player.Champion Dwayne Bravo, one more added to this list , thanks for the entertainment @DJBravo47 twitter.com/imyuvi___/stat…Rishyan R G@RishyanRGCSK release Dwayne Bravo ahead of the 2023 IPL Auctions!
