South African batting prodigy Dewald Brevis has ignited speculation of a potential mid-season IPL 2025 switch to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) after posting a mysterious all-yellow image on his Instagram story. The post, shared without any caption or context, quickly set social media abuzz, with fans linking the yellow theme to CSK’s iconic jersey.
Dewald Brevis hints at joining CSK in IPL 2025
The timing of the post has only amplified speculation. Just days after signing a deal with Hampshire Cricket, the former Mumbai Indians batter is now being tipped to join CSK, a franchise currently struggling at the bottom of the IPL 2025 table with only two wins in seven matches.
Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that CSK has one overseas slot open, and with Ruturaj Gaikwad reportedly ruled out for the season due to injury, Brevis could be a potential replacement. Known for his fearless strokeplay and likened to AB de Villiers—earning him the nickname “Baby AB”—Brevis could bring the much-needed middle-order firepower CSK has lacked this season.
Though he went unsold in the IPL 2025 mega auction following his release by MI, Brevis has built an impressive global resume, having represented MI New York, St. Kitts & Nevis Patriots, and New York Strikers in various T20 leagues.
As MS Dhoni leads the team once again, the management might look at Brevis as an ‘X-factor’ to revive CSK’s season. The franchise next faces Mumbai Indians on April 20 at the Wankhede Stadium, a match that could prove decisive in their playoff hopes.
With no official confirmation yet, fans now wait to see whether the yellow-themed teaser was just coincidence—or the start of a new chapter in Brevis’s IPL journey.
