MS, Fleming special: Bravo
"MS and Fleming, both have this relationship where they understand each other. They don't have outside interference at all. They don't judge players by their performance. You come there, you perform, you don't perform - they treat you the same. In other teams, if you don't perform, you feel pressure. With CSK, you don't feel that," Bravo said in Cricbuzz in Conversation anchored by Harsha Bhogle.
Dhoni makes CSK special
"MS always says the reason you guys are here is because we feel you're good enough to be here. Don't try to prove anything. We aren't asking you to do anything you aren't accustomed to doing. Shane Watson openly said if he was in another franchise he would've either been dropped or would've thought about retiring. I don't think you'll see a franchise like CSK again. A lot of credit for that has to go to Dhoni and Fleming," he said.
'Dhoni showed more faith than Windies'
Bravo also said Dhoni has shown more faith in him than West Indian selectors and the board. "It's strange. We're so different in so many ways. I've asked myself many times, why someone like MS has so much faith in me. My own board and selectors don't have the same faith. But Mahi respects my talent and the way I play the game. That means a lot to me because this is arguably the greatest captain in the world and he has so much faith. More often than not I deliver. That's what happens when you back someone 100 percent," said the Trinidadian.
Bravo the death over specialist
Bravo detailed how has been developed as a death over bowler at CSK at the behest of Dhoni. "He (Dhoni) allows me to do what I want. If it's really tight, he'll suggest something, but will go with what I want. And again, that goes with trust. He knows I'm good at what I'm doing. As long as I'm trying to execute to the best of my ability, he doesn't worry about results too much. His calmness rubs off on the rest of the team. He's never flustered, he never panics. I bowl a lot to MS in practice, so he knows my mental toughness, my thinking. So when I'm put in that position in a game, he trusts me enough on my own to deliver."
