Dwayne Bravo’s 6 Notable Records in CPL

Dwayne Bravo is a veteran of the shortest format, having played in almost all major T20 leagues worldwide. The all-rounder has earned quite a reputation with his excellent all-round skills in T20 leagues.

The story is no different in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL). Bravo has left a mark in the homegrown league, making him a Caribbean legend.

Before the 2024 CPL season started, the Trinidadian all-rounder announced his retirement from the league after this edition.

On that note, let’s look at Dwayne Bravo’s 6 notable records in CPL.

Most Title Wins as Captain in CPL

Dwayne Bravo is the most successful captain in the CPL. He won the CPL title 4 times as a skipper.

His first 3 title triumphs came in 2015, 2017, and 2018 while leading Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR). In the 2021 season, Bravo turned up for Saint Kitts and Nevis Patriots (SKNP) team and led them to their first CPL title win.

Most Wickets in a Single CPL Season

During TKR’s run to the title in 2015, Bravo led from the front with the ball. He picked up 28 wickets in 13 matches, creating a record for the most scalps in a single CPL season.
