"I Don't Like It...Put Your Real Name On Jersey," Former Bowler Tells CSK Player

Cricket is not just a gentleman's game but one of the most entertaining games of all time. Be it World Cup, IPL or Test matches fans have always loved to watch their favourite star play.

Currently, the T20 tournaments are in full swing and fans are going gaga over their favourite team. Even cricketers are happily coming out and trying unique ways to keep the audiences engaged. The new trend that is catching pace is usage of nicknames or abbreviations on the back of the jersey.

At a recent match in the ongoing Global T20 Canada, former West Indies and Chennai Super Kings player Dwayne Bravo was seen wearing a jersey with the name ‘Champion’ inscribed on his back. Fans were super excited to see him play along with his new style. But this new style, did not go well with former New Zealand bowler Simon Doull, who was commentating during the match.

“I know this is going to sound a bit pedantic but I don’t like that at all. I do not like... put your real name!”, said Simon Doull during the match.

"It’s a new tournament. You’re trying to encourage people to know who these players are. Recognize the superstars of the game. Yes, he might think it’s cool, but put your real name on your shirt so that the young kids, the older fans, the men, the women that come along to watch this game know exactly who that is. That is Dwayne Bravo. It’s not ‘Champion’! Champion of what,” he further added.

During yesterday's match, Bravo played a key role against the Toronto Nationals by taking 4 wickets for 39 runs to help his side win by three wickets.
