Bravo said, When I am playing, I always work with the bowlers and develop plans and ideas to stay one step ahead of the batters. The only difference is that I will no longer be standing mid-on or mid-off. I never thought I would become the highest wicket-taker in the history of IPL. But I am happy to be a part of IPL history.
Bravo has participated in every year of the IPL except the 2017 IPL season. He was first signed by Mumbai Indians in 2008 and stayed with Mumbai for three seasons. After this, in the auction of 2011, CSK did Bravo in their court. Since CSK was banned for two years, in 2016, Gujarat Lions took him into their team.
