The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) brought in Dewald Brevis to strengthen their team during the 2025 IPL season. With the middle order facing challenges, Brevis, at a cost of INR 2.2 crore, proved to be a valuable asset. He played six matches, scoring 225 runs with a high strike rate. The team’s management is keen on retaining him for the upcoming season. The rules regarding player retention favor CSK in Brevis’ case. Notably, he is exempt from the restrictions affecting players who moved teams during cross-border conflicts, as seen with other teams in the league. The recent impressive performance by Brevis, including a 41-ball century in a T20I against Australia, further enhances his value, making his retention at a reasonable price highly probable.
