Chennai Super Kings won only two victories in seven matches in IPL 2025 and is the last of the league at 10 teams. With the exception of Rachin Ravira and Shivam Dube to some extent, none of the other strikers played big blows. MS Dhoni’s cameos towards the end of the rounds are there, but CSK needed a player who could offer them stability in the stick. CSK now has this player in Dewald Brevis in South Africa.
