Kolkata Knight Riders’ (KKR) newly appointed mentor, Dwayne Bravo, humorously remarked that he would try to teach head coach Chandrakant Pandit a few dance moves during their IPL 2025 campaign. The former West Indies all-rounder even praised Pandit, calling him a good dancer.
Bravo has stepped into the role of KKR mentor, succeeding Gautam Gambhir, who is now the head coach of the Indian national team. Under Gambhir’s mentorship and Pandit’s coaching, KKR secured the IPL title in 2024.
Speaking at the ‘Knights Unplugged 2.0’ event on Wednesday, March 19, Bravo shared his thoughts on the challenge of being KKR’s mentor. Adding a touch of humor, the ‘Champion’ singer also playfully agreed to give Pandit some dance lessons. He said:
“I think so definitely. I will try to teach him a few dance steps. He looks like a very good dancer.”
On a more serious note, Bravo expressed his desire for the current generation of KKR players to earn recognition as champion cricketers. The 41-year-old remarked:
“My records speak for themselves, but at the end of the day, it’s about the next generation of cricketers and helping them become champions in their own way… The key to success is passion for the game.”
