Bhajji is in touch with us: Bravo

A few days after leading the Mumbai Indians to a win against the Kolkata Knight Riders, West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo is ready to leave the team, to fulfil his international commitments. He spoke to CNN-IBN's Roma Khanna on a range of issues including Sachin Tendulkar's fitness and the slapgate saga.

Dwayne Bravo: It is very nice to get a win. It is always nice to win. The feeling is different from losing and I think we are going to keep the momentum now and try to improve our team and move forward.

CNN-IBN: You would be playing the next few matches and then going back to play the Test series against Australia. Whats is it like to leave the tournament half-way?

Dwayne Bravo: Yes, it is very hard and very difficult to leave in the middle of the tournament, especially a tournament which you are enjoying, enjoying the atmosphere. I will be following the competition closely when I am back home as well.

CNN-IBN: What are the chances of captain, Sachin Tendulkar coming back and making his IPL debut?

Dwayne Bravo: At this point in time the chances look very good. Sachin have had a long hit in the nets today and from a team's prespective thats a very good sign for us. All of us will love to see him back in the line-up and I think everyone in Mumbai would also love to see him back. The physio and the management staff have been monitoring him closely.

CNN-IBN: Did Harbhajan Singh speak to the team after the incident (Bhajji-Sreesanth showdown) and what happened within the dressing room?

Dwayne Bravo: The incident with Bhajji was not a very good news for us. But one thing that the management staff brought to us was that whatever happened, we cannot control the incident - whatever Bhajji did but we have to forget it and move forward as a team and as a unit. Bhajji have been supporting us and although he is not with the team at this time, he has been keeping in touch via email and he is sharing his happiness with the team in terms of when we win. So, we know that he is still with us.
