After Chennai Super Kings (CSK) defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 8 wickets to lift their third IPL title, fans got to see Bravo challenging Dhoni for a sprint along the playing strip at the Wankhede Stadium.

Contrary to expectations, the race was a close affair with CSK skipper piping Bravo by the barest of margins.

During an Instagram live chat with CSK, Bravo recalled the sprint and said: "He kept saying throughout the entire season that I am an old man, I am an old man. I am very slow. I told him, 'I will challenge you in a sprint between the wickets'. He said 'no chance'. I said 'we will do it after the tournament is over'."

"I said 'I don't want to do it in the middle of the tournament and one of us pop our hamstrings'. We did it after the final. It was a very close race, very very close. He beat me. It was a good race. He was very quick,” he added.

Dwayne Bravo also said he wouldn't want to move to any other IPL franchise at this point of his career. The 36-year-old also expressed his gratitude towards Dhoni and CSK coach Stephen Fleming for the faith the two have shown in him.

"I am trusted by the captain MS a lot, and the coach Stephen Fleming. They allow me to be myself," he said.

"Sometimes, I bowl in the death overs and go for a lot of runs. Different teams, different captains,even in the commentary they said 'it's time to move on from Bravo, get someone else to bowl at the death'.

"CSK always show faith in my ability to bowl at the death. It paid off. I can say, more often than not, you can deliver. Coming up against top players, things won't always go your way. But I am a strong believer in my talent."
