IPL 2021 Final: Dwayne Bravo Sets New Record With 16th T20 Title, Takes a Dig at Kieron Pollard After Chennai Super Kings Win 4th IPL Trophy
Bravo Sets New Record as CSK Clinch 4th IPL Title, Takes Subtle Dig at Pollard
"That's the first thing I'm going to do when I turn on my phone - let Kieron Pollard know this is the 16th. He has some catching up to do," Bravo took a dig at Pollard during the post-match presentation ceremony. For Chennai, experienced opener Faf du Plessis played a brilliant knock of 86 off 59 balls, laced with seven fours and three sixes, to help CSK post 192 for 3 after they were put to bat first. In response, Kolkata could manage 165 for 9 in their 20 overs with Shubman Gill and Venkatesh Iyer hitting 51 and 50 respectively. "Don't get nervous (coming into a final). Have had a good performance in different phases of the tournament. Faf and Ruturaj standout for us. To have these two guys scoring over 500 runs together. Experience beats youth any day. Going to change the name from Mr Champion to Sir Champion," said Bravo after the game. Meanwhile, Bravo has won 16 T20 titles followed by Pollard at second spot with 15. Pakistan's Shoaib Malik, who has won 12 T20 titles, is third on the list. India's Rohit Sharma, Mumbai Indians captain, is at the 4th position with 10 titles, including the 5 IPL trophies. Lasith Malinga is at the 5th spot with 9 T20 trophies. Ravindra Jadeja on his part said: "That catch of Venkatesh Iyer changed it for us. Mr DJ Bravo is going to entertain us all night. It's time for him to change his name from 'Champion' to 'Sir Champion'."DJ Mode on! 🥳#SuperCham21ons#CSKvKKR #WhistlePodu #Yellove🦁 @DJBravo47@imjadeja pic.twitter.com/om0EQTrptC
