In a video posted by the franchise on social media, Dwayne Bravo was seen rehearsing his 'Champion' song ahead of KKR's IPL 2025 event.

Dwayne Bravo replaced Gautam Gambhir as KKR mentor for IPL 2025

Notably, former KKR captain Gautam Gambhir returned to the franchise as their mentor for the IPL 2024 season. Under his guidance, the team reached the final and also defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad to lift their third trophy in the history of the league.

However, Gambhir then took up the role of the head coach of the senior Indian men's team, also leading them to the 2025 Champions Trophy win recently. With him taking on national duty, KKR called in Dwayne Bravo as their mentor for the upcoming season.

Bravo has himself been an IPL great, having played for teams like Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings, winning multiple trophies as well. He has played 161 games in his IPL career, scoring 1560 runs. The former all-rounder also has 183 wickets to his name in the league and is among the highest wicket-takers in IPL history.
