AjinkyaRahane had to interrupt Bravo to tell him that the mics were on.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) mentor Dwayne Bravo recently embarrassed himself and the team recently when he said something and didn’t realise that the mics were on. This happened ahead of the 19th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. His remarks at a media gathering have now gone viral on the internet.

Dwayne Bravo’s remarks at a media gathering embarrassed himself as the mics were on.

Dwayne Bravo’s remarks were captured on the mics during the media gathering. However, as soon as he was made to realise the same by AjinkyaRahane, he looked embarrassed. Kolkata Knight Riders head coach Abhishek Nayar, assistant coachShane Watson, and captainAjinkyaRahane were there too with Bravo. A clip of the evening has now gone viral on the internet, showing them greeting one another when Bravo appeared to have said something he shouldn’t have.

What made Dwayne Bravo feel embarrassed at the media gathering?

Bravo was heard saying, “When these guys called me, I had two chicks at my home.” He was talking to Watson, at the same time pointing his hand in the direction of Nayar. It’s quite clear he would have gone on if not for Rahane, who informed him that the mics were on, after which he could be heard saying, “Shit.” Bravo looked mortified for sure after being told that. The others got careful too thereafter.

Bravo since has been receiving flak online. One user reacted, “KKR full management was attending a press conference, including their coach and captain. Bravo didn’t know Mics were on when he said I had 2 chicks (girlfriends) at my house. When Rahane told him mic was on his face was completely off. Such a shame that he is part of IPL with this mindset.” Another expressed, “This is disappointing if true. Professional environments demand respect, especially on a mic, whether you think it’s live or not. Players represent more than just themselves. Hope there’s accountability.”
