Preparations for IPL 2025 are going on at a very fast pace. Very soon the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) may announce the rules related to the retention of players for the upcoming season.
So now a big news related to the upcoming season is coming out. Let us tell you that three-time champion Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) has appointed former Caribbean all-rounder Dwayne Bravo as the mentor of the team for the upcoming season.

On the other hand, if we give you information about Bravo, before taking up the post of mentor in KKR, he was the bowling coach in five-time champion Chennai Super Kings (CSK). He performed brilliantly for the team for many seasons.
But now he will be seen providing his mentorship experience to KKR in the upcoming IPL season. It will be worth seeing how Bravo, who joined KKR as a replacement for Gautam Gambhir, makes an impact on the team.
