\"Blck<\/a>Melbourne Renegades’ star import Dwayne Bravo showcased his other talent on Tuesday, singing a preview of his new song Champion at Etihad Stadium.<\/p>\n

Bravo danced alongside Australian-Indian actress Pallavi Sharda and Bollywood dancers from the Jhoom company, singing the words “DJ Bravo, DJ Bravo, champion, champion, everybody know say Bravo a champion”.<\/p>\n

“Music is part of our culture, for us Caribbean people, we create some of the best musicians in the world,” Bravo said.<\/p>\n

“Dwayne Bravo the cricketer, now entertainer. I want to entertain my fans around the world off the field with some music.”
\nEarlier this year, Bravo signed with Los Angeles-based entertainment company, Venus Music Group as he attempts to take his music dream further and show people around the world that he is more than just an international cricketer.<\/p>\n

He hasn’t officially released Champion to the public, but is hoping to before the Twenty20 World Cup in March.<\/p>\n

“I’ve played it for a few guys in the Renegades team and everyone loves it. I think it’s going to be a very good song,” he said.<\/p>\n

Bravo may yet get to show off his dancing moves at half-time in Wednesday’s Big Bash match against the Sixers, when Sharda and the Jhoom Bollywood Dance Company take to the stage.<\/p>\n

“The big Bollywood bash is going to be full colour, fun and Bollywood dancing,” Sharda said.<\/p>\n

“It’s great that we are involving the subcontinental community in Melbourne in the Big Bash, so I’m looking forward to it.”<\/p>\n

Sharda said Wednesday’s festivities included bindis being distributed, the red dot worn in the middle of the forehead, henna painting and maybe even an appearance of an elephant.<\/p>\n

Bravo said he was looking forward to the game against the Sixers, a tough opponent who have a very good team. He is hopeful the Renegades can carry on their from their last over win against Brisbane.<\/p>\n

“I want the entire stadium to be singing Champion … when I come out to bat, have a bowl or take a catch,” Bravo said.<\/p>\n

Etihad Stadium will host Wednesday’s Bollywood bash with the match starting at 7.10pm.<\/p>\n
