Chennai Super Kings on Friday tweeted a photo that left fans in crevices. The photo was a morphed version of the now-famous Cristiano Ronaldo-Lionel Messi photo of the two legendary footballers posing as they engaged in a chess game played on a checkered pocket. The photo was posted on social media by both footballers ahead of the start of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. It was a promotional campaign for the luxury brand Louis Vuitton.
Now CSK used the same image and replaced the faces of Ronaldo and Messi with those of West Indies cricketers Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo. “Mates continue their gamble as coaches,” is the caption they captioned the photo.

It comes on a day when Bravo announced his retirement from IPL and was appointed as CSK’s bowling coach. A few days earlier, Kieron Pollard had retired from the IPL and was appointed batting coach of the Mumbai Indians.
Both West Indies greats have remained loyal to the Indian Premier League for Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings respectively.
As Bravo retires as the highest wicket taker in league history, Pollard was a pivotal figure in Mumbai’s rise from one of the league’s underachievers to the most successful 5-trophy side.
