Chennai Super Kings picked Dewald Brevis as a replacement player during IPL 2025, and he had a terrific outing with the team. Brevis was among the top five run-scorers for CSK despite featuring in just six games. Brevis made 225 runs at an average of 37.50 and a strike rate of 180. He hit 17 sixes for the five-time champions, which was the second-most number of sixes hit by a batter for the team in the league.
CSK didn’t have a great outing in the league this year and finished in last position with four wins in 14 matches. However, the team managed to assemble a strong squad during the second phase of the tournament. Apart from Brevis, the team also picked Ayush Mhatre and Urvil Patel as replacements. Brevis had replaced pace bowler Gurjapneet Singh in the squad on April 18 for a price of INR 2.2 crore.
Will CSK Retain In IPL 2026?
CSK can retain Brevis before heading into the IPL 2026 Auction. The reason is that Brevis came as an injury replacement for CSK and was not a temporary replacement. However, in order to retain Brevis, the team will have to release a player. It would not be a tedious task for CSK to pick players whom they will release after a disastrous performance in IPL 2025.
Brevis recently had a terrific outing for the Proteas in a T20I game against Australia. He made an unbeaten 125 runs off 56 deliveries and helped South Africa post a total of 218 runs for the loss of seven wickets.
It was the second-fastest century by a batter for South Africa in T20Is behind David Miller’s 35-ball century. He became the youngest Proteas batter to record a century in T20Is. Also, his 125 not-out is the highest individual score for South Africa in T20Is. It was also South Africa’s highest total in T20I against Australia.
