Dewald Brevis joined the CSK Squad on Friday in Mumbai and had only one training session before CSK vs Mi Clash.
After five consecutive defeats, Chennai Super Kings is back to victory. With MS Dhoni leading the team again, they hope for a miracle, winning at least six of the seven games to qualify for the IPL 2025 qualifiers. They go to Mumbai for the reverse match against the Mumbai Indians, having already won the first leg. But this CSK is different. Despite their victory against Lucknow’s Super Giants in the last game, CSK is struggling. However, after finding a victory, Dhoni is unlikely to tinker with the combination. This means that there will be no room for Devon Conway, R Ashwin or Dewald Brevis in CSK playing XI vs Mi.
The CSK team in difficulty has brought two major changes in their last game. They dropped Conway and Ashwin, bringing Shaik Rasheed and Ayush Matre. Both worked well. They strengthened the team with Brevis to replace the injured Gurjapneet Singh. But the young South African linked to the CSK team on Friday. With practically no practice with the team, it is unlikely to appear in the mi vs CSK confrontation.
And Devon Conway?
The New Zealander was a trusted trusted in the first order after the departure of the FAF du Plessis. But Conway had difficulties with the batter recently and also stretched its bad shape in the form of the IPL. In three rounds, Conway scored 13, 69 out of 49 and 12.
His difficulties were so serious that he was withdrawn against the kings of Punjab with the pursuit still. In his place, CSK brought Shaik Rasheed. The young person gave a good start CSK, marking 19-ball 27. It will give him confidence to face Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar at Wankhede. For Conway, unless there is an injury crisis, the IPL is over.
Will CSK play Dewald Brevis?
There is always excitement around Dewald Brevis or Baby AB. During his visit to the Indians of Mumbai, he played good shots. But more importantly, it comes from a good form of first class cricket. Although it is surprising that Brevis had to enter the 2025 IPL to replace the injuries, its beginnings in yellow must wait.
Rachin Ravira and Matheesha Pathirana are two regular runners for CSK, occupying two quotas abroad. Noor Ahmad was CSK’s main filter in IPL 2025. Consequently, it is irreplaceable, leaving only one place. CSK used the place for Jamie Overton and Sam Curran as an additional sailors. Unless there is a collapse of a striker, the CSK is unlikely to change this combination.
And R Ashwin?
His return from Rs 9.75 crore was celebrated. But Ashwin fell flat. At fewer moments so far, Ashwin has won five counters in six games, which went at 9.90 saving rates. With the exception of two games, he conceded more than 10 by more. He was even made ineffective in his stadium Ma Chidambaram at the Ground Home. Consequently, he will have to wait unless the conditions again require his inlass.

Will young people try?
CSK head coach Stephen Fleming alluded to the use of the bench. With young people such as Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Andre Siddharth on the bench, they could have a look, but not in the mi vs CSK confrontation.
“Unfortunately, the position in which we are, we have no time to be too patient, however. We have eyes on the season. But we also have a little attentive, by ensuring that we are developing players for the future. It may be the second half of the season, if that is not doing well in the next two games, “ Fleming said about CSK’s situation before the match.
