The former India and CSK skipper had left the decision open and had said that he would take a call post the retention rules were announced. Chennai Super Kings on the other hand will have a huge choice to make ahead of the IPL 2025 auction. 

Meanwhile, Dwayne Bravo who was with Chennai Super Kings for 12 years has joined KKR as their new mentor. The decision came to light after the former West Indian skipper called time on his career few days ago. 

Venky Mysore who happens to be the CEO of KKR had put out a statement which read “DJ Bravo joining us is an exciting development. His relentless drive to win, along with his vast experience and deep knowledge, will greatly benefit our franchise and players."

The former CSK star took to social media and put out a statement for the Chennai fans which read “Just want to take the time to give a special thank you to the CSK management for giving me their blessings. To the fans of CSK in Chennai and all around the world, I want your blessings. I know this is a sad moment but I want you to continue supporting me. Lots of love”
