The South African batter, Dewald Brevis, is expected to return to the side for the clash against the Delhi Capitals. He was initially ruled out of the first 3 games due to a side strain and was in rehab.
He has been recovering well and will be all set to play for the Chennai Super Kings this Saturday.

The Chennai Super Kings have suffered yet another horrific loss in the season as they lost by 43 runs against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. They have lost 3 consecutive games this season and will be hoping for a revival. They currently sit at the bottom of the league with 0 points and a net run rate of -2.517. They seem to be in desperate need of some induction of fresh talent into the squad.
Young South African’s comeback offers hope for struggling CSK middle order
Dewald Brevis was picked by the Chennai Super Kings as an injury replacement last season, and he worked wonders for the club. He came into bat deep down the order and turned out to be one of the best batters for the club in the IPL 2025 season.
"We hope he is going to be right for the next game. We have five days between the next game. We have been conservative, and hopefully, these next five days will go as well as we have planned, and he is ready to go. It's a big loss,s but we are looking forward to getting him back,” said Stephen Fleming after the loss against RCB.
CSK will be happy to have him back in the squad as he can contribute with both bat and ball. He would be a destructive force that can put the bowlers off guard with his ability to score all around the ground. He is also a dynamic fielder and will add great value to the team. CSK have had their woes in the middle order with the lack of contribution from their batters, but Dewald Brevis will be a reliable batter that they can depend upon in crucial situations.
As the Chennai Super Kings gear up to begin their revival in this season with the return of Brevis and MS Dhoni to their squad, their fans will be expecting some fireworks to begin. They will have a huge mountain to climb to revive their hopes, but for a champion side like the CSK, nothing is seemingly impossible.
