CSK, who are currently struggling this season, are in dire need of an explosive batter, as their scoring rate is the lowest amongst all the teams.<\/p>\n

Dewald Brevis has been signed for INR 2.2 crore, and can potentially feature for CSK in thier next match against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium, on Sunday, April 20.<\/p>\n

CSK, who had 7 foreigners in their squad, were able to sign an overseas player against an Indian player, because IPL allows franchises to have maximum 8 overseas players in their side.<\/p>\n

Dewald Brevis is an exciting batter, and has been nicknamed ‘Baby De Villiers’ due to his similarity of playstyle to that of South African legend AB De Villiers.<\/p>\n

CSK are currently at the bottom of the table with 2 wins and 5 losses, and their chances of qualifying for the playoffs are slowly fading away.<\/p>\n

Never in the history of IPL have CSK failed to qualify for the playoffs in two consecutive season.<\/p>\n

The 5-time champions have only failed to reach the last four on three occasions (2020, 2022, 2024).<\/p>\n
