At the same time, I am thankful that I have been able to participate in the Indian Premier League for the past 15 years. I am aware that today is a difficult day for me, my family, and most importantly, my followers.

But at the same time, I want all of you to join me in celebrating my professional accomplishments over the past 15 years “stated Bravo in an Instagram post.

“I am getting ready to move on to other things and hang up my bowling boots, and I wanted to let my supporters know that I am looking forward to putting on my coaching hat in the near future. I am excited to work with the younger bowlers in the CSK organisation.

This new possibility has me very excited, especially considering that my current mission in life is to assist in the training and development of future champions. I want to express my gratitude for all the love and support you’ve shown me throughout the years. Yellow love will never die. #SirChampion, “he added.
