IPL 2025: Brevis Adds Firepower to CSK’s Batting Line-up
Dewald Brevis, known for his aggressive batting and nickname “Baby AB” due to his batting style resembling AB de Villiers, brings much-needed firepower to the CSK squad. Although Brevis has been part of the Mumbai Indians in previous seasons, his impact in IPL has been somewhat limited. However, his recent performances in South Africa’s SA20 2025 have turned heads. Playing for MI Cape Town, he scored 291 runs at a blazing strike rate of 184, including 25 sixes — the most in the tournament.
CSK will be hoping that Brevis can bring the same level of performance to their middle order, which has struggled in IPL 2025. The 21-year-old’s explosive batting could be a key asset as CSK aims to turn their season around and push for a playoff spot.
Brevis’ IPL Journey and CSK’s Playoff Hopes
Brevis, despite his impressive domestic form, had gone unsold at the IPL auction, but the injury to Gurjapneet Singh has given him the chance to prove his worth. CSK, currently sitting at the bottom of the IPL 2025 points table, will need a boost to make a comeback in the tournament. Brevis’ signing offers fresh hope for a team that is struggling to find its rhythm.
A New Beginning for Brevis with CSK
After his stint with MI, where he played 10 games over three seasons, Brevis joins CSK with hopes of replicating his recent success on a bigger stage. Known for his power-hitting and ability to play under pressure, Brevis’ aggressive approach could be the catalyst CSK needs to make a second-half surge in IPL 2025.
