Overview
- Speaking on the Beard Before Wicket podcast, Bravo said Dhoni told him in 2018, “Don’t ever dive… your four overs are more important than saving four runs.”
- Bravo said he moved to fielding in the circle after that moment, calling it an example of Dhoni’s emphasis on role clarity.
- He recalled Dhoni asking for his preferred field early in his CSK stint and then never overruling him, which Bravo interpreted as complete trust.
- Bravo praised a steady, non-judgmental culture under Dhoni and head coach Stephen Fleming that allowed players to be themselves.
- The former CSK all-rounder played for the franchise in 2011–15 and 2018–22, won three IPL titles there, coached in 2023, and has been KKR’s mentor since 2025.
