Team India’s mentor MS Dhoni also caught up with fellow CSK teammate Dwayne Bravo, as the duo posed for a picture together. Bravo was instrumental as Dhoni and Co. lifted their fourth IPL title last week, before heading into the T20 World Cup. While the former Indian captain has taken up a backroom staff role, Bravo continues to be pivotal for the West Indies, having forced his way back into reckoning. Rishabh Pant also posed with Nicholas Pooran, while Chris Gayle and Dale Steyn also posed in front of the camera.
