Overview

• In a new interview with AB de Villiers, Dewald Brevis said MS Dhoni kept his room open for teammates and recalled spending time there chatting, watching cricket and talking about life.
• Brevis scored 225 runs in six IPL 2025 matches for Chennai Super Kings at a strike rate of 180 and an average of 37.50, including two half-centuries.
• He joined CSK mid-season as Gurjapneet Singh’s injury replacement for INR 2.2 crore under the league’s replacement rules.
• Despite his form, CSK finished 10th in the 2025 table, though Brevis said batting at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium felt “incredible.”
• Dhoni had described Brevis as an asset for the future during the season, and subsequent reports indicate CSK could consider retaining him.
