Dismissed from the rest of the IPL with a groin injury, Chennai Super Kings all-rounder Dwayne Bravo has implored fans of the troubled team to continue supporting him through what turned out to be a forgettable season.
The 37-year-old’s retirement was a massive blow to the already struggling team that has little chance of advancing to the play-offs.
“It is sad news, it is sad to leave my CSK team. To all our CSK fans, I want you to continue to cheer on the team, continue to support, all the true CSK fans, ”Bravo said in a video message posted by the franchise on his Twitter account.

“This was not a season that we expected or that our fans wanted, but we did our best. Sometimes, despite trying our best, the results don’t show up. “
Bravo reminded fans of CSK’s excellent record of winning three IPLs in the past.
“Please keep supporting us and I can guarantee that we will come back stronger and better as champions. One of the most successful franchises, I think we should be proud to be members and fans of CSK. “
Bravo, an integral part of the CSK team for years, was unable to launch the final against Delhi Capitals in a match in Sharjah on October 17.
The West Indies played six games and scored just seven runs in two innings. However, he got six plots at an economy rate of 8.57.
CSK’s campaign is already derailed after seven defeats in 10 games. They are currently at the bottom of the league table.
Chennai Super Kings were already paralyzed by the absence of veteran players Suresh Raina and Harbhajan Singh, who withdrew for personal reasons.
The poor form of some of the veteran players like Captain Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav has also hurt their cause.
