Overview
- Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have officially signed 21-year-old Dewald Brevis as a replacement for injured pacer Gurjapneet Singh for the remainder of IPL 2025.
- Brevis, dubbed 'Baby AB' for his resemblance to AB de Villiers, brings explosive batting power and versatility to CSK’s struggling middle order.
- The South African cricketer was signed for INR 2.2 crore after going unsold in the IPL 2025 auction, filling an open overseas slot in CSK’s roster.
- Brevis has a strong track record in T20 leagues, including a standout performance in SA20 2025, where he scored 291 runs at a strike rate of 184.17.
- CSK, currently last in the IPL standings with only two wins from seven matches, hope Brevis can help turn their fortunes around in the second half of the season.
