Dwayne Bravo, former all-rounder, and CSK bowling coach, has stated clearly that they do not want the Mumbai Indians to get to the final. Bravo made a joke about the CSK-MI rivalry while stating that the Super Kings are ready to face any of the other three teams in the final.
Chennai Super Kings advanced to the IPL 2023 final with a dominating win over defending champions Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 1 on Tuesday in Chennai. CSK defeated Gujarat, the league’s standout club, to set the tone for the major final.

Mumbai Indians defeated Lucknow Super Giants by 81 runs on Wednesday to advance to the IPL 2023 Qualifier 2. Despite possessing five IPL championships and a reputation for slow starts, MI is again on track to add to its trophy cabinet. The last two seasons haven’t been great, with a poor 10th-place performance in 2022 and a fifth-place finish in 2021.

I am Scared Of Mumbai Indians: Dwayne Bravo
Dwayne Bravo, the bowling coach for CSK, has made it very obvious that they do not want Mumbai Indians to get to the championship game. In the 2013–2015 and 2019 IPL finals, CSK suffered three defeats against MI. Bravo participated in all three finals but lost each one. Additionally, MI has a superior record in their 36 head-to-head meetings with CSK, having won 20 of those games.
“No, I am scared of Mumbai (laughs). We don’t see it like that. All three other teams are dangerous teams. They are quality teams,” Dwayne Bravo told Star Sports after CSK’s 15-run win over Gujarat.
“Yeah, I mean, honestly, my personal feeling, I don’t want Mumbai. My friend Pollard knows that. But, jokes aside, all the best to the other teams. We are looking forward to whoever we are going to face. I think we have got it,” Dwayne Bravo added.
If the Mumbai Indians make the final, Bravo would face his good friend Kieron Pollard, who is the batting coach. Dwayne Bravo’s lighthearted remark highlights MI’s IPL domination over CSK throughout the years. The two clubs have met in the final four times, with Mumbai winning three times, including 2013, 2015, and 2019, and CSK winning their first-ever meeting in a final in 2010.
