West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo has become the fourth regional player to to sign up for the rich Twenty20 Indian Premier League (IPL) currently underway. Bravo left his native Trinidad on Saturday to take up his contract for an undisclosed sum with the Mumbai Indians.

Top players in the Mumbai Indians’ squad include India's Sachin Tendulkar, former Sri Lankan opener Sanath Jayasuriya, Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, former South Africa captain Shaun Pollock, and Sri Lanka’s slinging fast bowler Lasith Malinga. Bravo replaces the latter in the list, who is unavailable due to injury.

According to CMC, "Bravo will only be available for a few weeks in the IPL since he is committed to representing West Indies against Australia in the Caribbean next month, but Mumbai Indians officials are satisfied that they will have a significant input from the athletic 24-year-old."

Bravo and Tendulkar, did not play in Sunday's encounter between the Mumbai Indians and the Royal Challengers of Banglaore featuring West Indian mainstay Shivnarine Chanderpaul. Chanderpaul looked energized in the field and scored a fiery 16, as Bangalore won the exciting game in the final over. Mumbai  posted 165 and the Bangalore Challengers replied with 166 for 5.
