Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have named former Mumbai Indians Dewald Brevis as a replacement player for injured Gurjapneet Singh on Friday for the remainder of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). The MS Dhoni-led side were able to sign the South African since they had an overseas slot left in their squad.

Brevis, who had a base price of ₹75 lakh at last year's IPL 2025 mega auction, was signed for ₹2.2 crore by CSK. “Chennai Super Kings fast bowler Gurjapneet Singh has been ruled out of the remainder of IPL 2025 because of an injury. South African Dewald Brevis has been announced as his replacement,” CSK said in a statement.

One of the rising stars of South African cricket, Brevis has played 81 T20 matches and has scored close to 2000 runs at a strike rate of almost 145. The 21-year-old has featured in several T20 leagues like the Major League Cricket, the SA20 and even the IPL before.
