STATS ANALYSIS
Follow UsWest Indies' Dwayne Bravo called it quits from all cricket on September 26 (Thursday), bringing an end to arguably the most decorated career in T20 history.
The charismatic all-rounder from Trinidad left a massive impact on the game in white-ball cricket and can be considered one of the pioneers of T20 cricket. In many ways, he made the slower ball mainstream and was probably the first bowler ever to make death bowling a speciality.
Bowling aside, Bravo also was a quality lower-order batter and played some mind-blowing knocks. His batting played a big hand in his franchises - across the world - winning major T20 competitions.
With nearly 18 years of T20 cricket under his belt, Bravo achieved plenty, creating a lot of new records in the process across franchise and international circuit. Let us look at some of the notable achievements of the West Indian champion.
