Trinidadian all-rounder and former West Indies captain Dwayne Bravo made history on Thursday when he became the leading wicket-taker in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) during the Chennai Super Kings match against the Lucknow Super Giants in Brabourne.
Bravo took 1-35 from his four overs, his 171st IPL wicket to move one ahead of Sri Lankan great Lasith Malinga.
His 171 wickets have come in 153 matches.
Bravo has played in the IPL since its inaugural season in 2008 and has represented three franchises-the Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings.
The next highest West Indian on the list is Sunil Narine with 144 wickets in 136 matches.
At the time of publishing, Bravo’s Chennai Super Kings were trying to defend nine runs off the last over.
