Since he is aged 38, many cricket fans believe that Dhoni is near to his retirement. Dwayne Bravo revealed that he wanted to do something for his CSK captain as his cricketing career might end anytime in the future. Bravo stated that MS Dhoni has had a “great impact” on his personal career. He also cited the examples of Indian cricketers like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who often credit MS Dhoni in the same manner in their interviews.

Dwayne Bravo then admitted that he often wondered why MS Dhoni showed so much faith in him when even his “own board” (West Indies Cricket Board) never did the same. He appreciated the veteran wicketkeeper-batsman for respecting his talents for so many years. Bravo said that MS Dhoni’s faith meant a lot to him as according to him, the Ranchi-born cricketer is “arguably the greatest captain in the world”.
