However old he might be, the Champions DJ Bravo never misses an opportunity to entertain his fans, while he is on the cricket field. Presently aged 36, he has passes his prime in both batting and bowling departments of the game, and right when people thought that he is nearing his career end, he proved them wrong by taking a stunning acrobatic catch in the recently concluded CPL match against Jamaica Tallawahs, thereby leaving the youngster in his team including the bowler Ali Khan, in amazement.
The incident happened in the third over of the Jamaica Tallawahs innings. Put in to bat first they struggled reasonably well in the initial overs as they lost two quick wickets in the very first two overs. Powell who came in at 2 down, misjudged a short of the length delivery around off from Ali Khan and swing his bat across the line, only to send the ball flying to DJ Bravo. He, who was stationed at mid-on ran towards the ball and dived forward to complete an outstanding catch, which amazed everyone. This low grab from Bravo is a pure testament of his phenomenal flexibility and the athleticism that he possesses even at this age of 36.

Chasing a moderate score of 136 set by Jamaica Tallawahs, TKR looked comfortable in the second innings courtesy of yet another match-winning 50 from their opener Sunil Narine. Scoring 53 runs off 38 balls which included 7 boundaries and two maximums, this was a perfect statement from him that he is not to be termed as an experimental opener anymore, but was well enough skillful to be considered a permanent opener from now on. New Zealander Colin Munro complimented him really well scoring 49 of 46 balls, thereby taking TKR home with 11 balls to spare.
Put in to bat first by Pollard, Tallawahs struggled to stitch together longstanding partnerships as young Jayden Seales and Ali Khan rip through the Tallawahs batting lineup early in the innings.
