Notably, Bravo was plying his trade in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) but his stint was cut short because of his injury after which he opted to retire. Soon after though, Bravo was announced as the mentor of the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
“Today is the day I say goodbye to the game that has given me everything. From the age of five, I knew this was what I wanted to do–this was the sport I was destined to play. I had no interest in anything else, and I dedicated my entire life to you. In return, you gave me the life I dreamed of for myself and my family. For that, I can’t thank you enough,” Bravo wrote in an Instagram post.
