Dewald Brevis Resumes Training In Nets

Chennai Super Kings shared a clip on their official social media handle showing Brevis hitting a six during nets practice at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Brevis is regarded as one of cricket’s rising stars and is popularly known as “Baby ABD” for his wide range of shot selections. The 22-year-old made his IPL debut in the 2022 season with Mumbai Indians. In IPL 2025, the middle-order batter joined the Chennai-based franchise.

Across his IPL career, the prodigy has played 16 matches, scoring 455 runs at a strike rate of 153.19 and an average of 28.43. In IPL 2025, he featured in six matches, amassing 225 runs at a strike rate of 180.00 and an average of 37.50.

The Super Kings have endured a sluggish start to the 19th edition of the IPL, failing to secure a single win so far. In their opening match of IPL 2026, CSK suffered an eight-wicket defeat to RR on March 30. They then conceded a five-wicket loss to PBKS on April 3, followed by a 43-run defeat to RCB on April 5.

Currently, CSK sit at the bottom of the IPL 2026 standings with a net run rate of -2.517 and are yet to register their first points of the season.
