The Chennai Super Kings have been the joint most successful franchise in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) along with the Mumbai Indians. On the other hand, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) won their first edition of the league in 2025. The recent encounter between these two teams has been incredible, and there is an intense rivalry between the two sides from the south.
In a recent interview with Subhankar Mishra during the podcast, the former RCB batter and captain of the South Africa side, Ab de Villiers, made a shocking statement on the Yellow franchise. Speaking of the youngster, Dewald Brevis, de Villiers reckoned that it was a shame that the right-handed batter played for the Super Kings and not Bengaluru.

‘From South Africa, I would say Dewald Brevis (who could become the next 360-degree player in the game. Yeah, he has the number 17 on the back. He plays a similar kind of cricket. He is very attacking and still has a lot to learn. He is playing for CSK and not RCB. That is a shame.’

Brevis recently made his debut in the longest format in Zimbabwe and needs the two-match series with 84 runs in three innings at an average of 28 and a strike rate of nearly 98.82 with one half-century to his name. The right-handed batter has smashed 138 runs in seven T20I innings at a strike rate of around 180 with the best score of 41.
In the history of the IPL, the Protea batter has clubbed 455 runs in 16 innings at a strike rate of 153.19. In the last season of the tournament, playing for the Super Kings, he notched up 225 runs in six innings at a strike rate of 180 with two fifties to his name.
The Chennai Super Kings didn’t have a great time in the last season, having finished at the bottom of the points table for the very first time in their history in the league. But they will look to make a strong comeback in the upcoming season.
