All-rounder Dwayne Bravo is one of the vital cogs in the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) line-up. Bravo not only contributes with bat and ball but is known for his sensational fielding as well. In the first qualifier against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), which CSK won by two wickets, Bravo failed with the bat. However, the all-rounder had a good time in the field with the ball. He gave away just 25 runs from his four overs, besides picking two important wickets of Shakib al Hasan and Yusuf Pathan. He took a superb catch off his own bowling to dismiss Pathan. After the victory, CSK posted a video of the dressing room on its Twitter handle. CSK’s 7th Entry Into the IPL Final & Other Stats
In the video, Bravo can be seen singing and dancing while captain MS Dhoni was sitting on the chair. CSK’s spinner Harbhajan Singh is also seen dancing with Bravo. It was, in fact, a ‘tribute’ by Bravo to Dhoni as indicated by the caption of the video, which read, “Champion’s groovy tribute to #Thala after getting through to the #Finale! #WhistlePodu #yellove ???? @msdhoni.”
Here’s the video we are talking about:

CSK made it to the record seventh IPL final after a tense win over SRH. Chasing 140 to win, the two-time champion lost wickets at regular intervals. However, it was South African Faf du Plessis who bailed his side out of the trouble with an unbeaten 67. Du Plessis’ innings proved to be a match-winning one as he defied some good bowling by Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Rashid Khan.
Meanwhile, SRH will now face the winner of the IPL 2018 Eliminator match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad in the second qualifier. The winner of the Qualifier 2 will proceed to meet CSK in the final on May 27.
