 On the field, West Indies cricketer and Chennai Super Kings star Dwayne Bravo may have his eyes glued to the ball. But off the field, he seems to have set his eyes on the music industry. 

On Sunday, he proved that not only can he score runs, but also master a tune. He launched his seventh single ‘Chalo Chalo’ in Chennai in the presence of his ever-supportive teammates from Chennai Super Kings and friends from Royal Challengers Bangalore. 

Dressed in a sherwani, Bravo sang and danced to his own composition. “On the field I am known as Dwayne Bravo, but outside I am DJ Bravo,” he announced proudly. 

He said that when he was not selected for the World Cup, he was disappointed. “But, I had two months time and I decided to do something with music. I wanted to do music on India,” he added. 

Bravo, who has acted in a Tamil film Ula, said he was keen on acting in more movies. “I have not got any other chances. But I am always available,” he quipped. And what does he like about Chennai ? “I love walking on the streets and buying mangoes. Chennai reminds me of my hometown Trinidad and Tobago. Love for music is common to both these places,” he said. 

Stating that his favourite songs are ‘Ringa Ringa’ and ‘Lungi Dance, he claimed: “I am planning to start a DJ Bravo dance school in Chennai.”
