Ο Dewald Brevis, Ayush Mhatre δίνει CSK jalbreak μετά το IPL 2025

Chennai Super Kings have had a torrid IPL 2025 season, managing just 3 wins so far. long eliminated from the race for the playoffs, CSK turned their focus on filling gaps in its squad. The MS Dhoni-led side roped in injury replacements after mid-season trials, with Ayush Mhatre and Dewald Brevis turning out to be bright spots in a dull campaign.

Ayush Mhatre, Dewald Brevis to form CSK’s IPL 2026 core?

After losing Ruturaj Gaikwad to injury, CSK roped in Ayush Mhatre as replacement. The five-time champions also brought in Dewald Brevis to replace Gurjapneet Singh. Mhatre and Brevis have added fresh air to CSK’s season, with their refreshing approach to T20 cricket.

Mhatre has added fresh impetus at the top for CSK. With Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra and Tripathi all struggling, the 17-year-old has taken the tournament by storm. Even in the CSK vs RR game, Mhatre continued his assault despite wickets falling in clusters at the other end. He is CSK’s third highest run-getter despite playing 6 games, scoring 206 runs at a strike rate of 187.27.

While Ayush Mhatre has fixed CSK’s top-order issues, Dewald Brevis has become a vital middle-order player. Batting at No.5 or 6, Brevis has resurrected Chennai’s innings after the top order collapses. Brevis has counter-attacked on occasion, allowing Shivam Dube and others to get their eye in. In 5 games, Brevis has tallied 168 runs, striking at 166.33. In Delhi on Tuesday, Brevis smashed 42 off 25 balls, taking his six tally to 12. Only Dube has hit more.

Brevis and Mhatre offer hope to CSK when they return for IPL 2026. Dhoni and Co need a rebuild and will have to let go of a few players. In Mhatre and Brevis, alongside Ruturaj Gaikwad, Noor Ahmad and Matheesha Pathirana, Chennai Super Kings have strong core to build around.
