Dwayne Bravo is all set to embark on a new journey as the mentor of Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2025. After spending years at the CSK camp, first as player and then as coach, the Caribbean star has now found a new home with the defending champs. Ahead of the new season, Bravo addressed what he had learnt from his predecessor Gautam Gambhir and had some bold words to say.
KKR’s Bravo says he’s different from Gambhir
Speaking to reporters, Bravo pointed out that he was very different in terms of approach from Gambhir. The current India head coach led KKR to their third title as mentor in IPL 2024. Bravo revealed that he had messaged Gambhir a few times to know what was the team’s “success formula”.
“Unfortunately, we lost some players. But I think GG had his style. I have my style. We’re both successful in our own ways. Definitely, I messaged him a few times and stuff. But again, I will be leaning a lot on these guys because they had a successful formula,” Bravo said.

“It’s important that we follow that formula. I think it’s going to be disrespectful of me not to try and find out some of the good things he did last season. But also, the core of the team is here,” Bravo added.
Bravo is looking forward to using his experience and expertise learnt in CSK and MI to power KKR to another title. The defending champions will take on RCB in the tournament opener on March 23 in Kolkata.
“That energy and that vibe, I am going to try to bring that here as well. It is already a successful team. Behind MI and CSK, we have the third most trophies in the cabinet, and we look to build on that,” he added.
