MS Dhoni, now the CSK captain after Ruturaj Gaikwad was ruled out of PSL 2025 due to injury, welcomed KKR’s mentor Dwayne Bravo with a ‘traitor’ jibe, ahead the CSK v KKR match in Chennai.
Bravo was long associated with the CSK franchise during his playing days in the IPL. Both Dhoni and Bravo have played many seasons together for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). However, as Dhoni prepares to return to the Chennai franchise as captain, Bravo will do everything he can to neutralize the threat that the 'Thala' and his team pose to the Knight Riders.
Bravo, meanwhile, joined rivals KKR as their mentor, taking the job left vacant by Gautam Gambhir.
As Dwayne Bravo approached the CSK nets and met up with Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni who was batting in the nets, saw him and jokingly called the West Indian a 'traitor', before their reunion left fans in awe.

Bravo had two stints with CSK in the IPL, first from 2011 to 2015 and then from 2018 to 2022. He even served as the franchise's bowling coach for the IPL 2023 and 2024 seasons before joining the Knight Riders.
CSK are at the 9th spot in IPL 2025 points table with just one win from 5 matches, while KKR are at 6th spot with 2 wins from 5 matches. This is a crucial match for both the teams, as a loss here for either of the teams, will make their path to playoffs, a lot more difficult.
