IPL 2019: CSK all-rounder Dwayne Bravo ruled out for two weeks

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have started this edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on a pretty impressive note. The franchise, captained by MS Dhoni, won three matches in a row and was at the top of the points table. However, their three-match winning streak came to an end after they were beaten by the Mumbai Indians (MI) at the renowned Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

Their next match is against the Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, CSK’s home ground. The encounter will be the first of tomorrow’s doubleheader. In the meantime, the team has been dealt with a body as Dwayne Bravo, their star all-rounder has been ruled out of the T20 extravaganza for the next couple of weeks as per reports in Cricbuzz.

Bravo- A huge player for Super Kings

The 35-year-old from Trinidad developed a Grade One Hamstring Tear in the previous match against Rohit Sharma’s men and the news of his injury same was mentioned by Dhoni during the post-match presentation ceremony. The development may come as a massive jolt for the three-time IPL champions as he has been performing for CSK for quite a few seasons now.

Even in this season of the IPL, he hasn’t flattered to deceive by any stretch of the imagination. The veteran picked up a three-wicket haul against the Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Feroz Shah Kotla in New Delhi. Then in the match against Rajasthan Royals (RR), captained by Ajinkya Rahane, at the Chepauk, Bravo picked up a couple of crucial wickets, while bowling in the death overs.

However, the right-arm speedster went for quite a few runs against the Mumbai-based franchise and conceded 29 runs in the last over of his spell. It will now be interesting to see who replaces the veteran cricketer in the next few days. Mitchell Santner, Scott Kuggelejin and Faf du Plessis are the options from which CSK can choose Bravo’s replacement.
