Chennai Super Kings have had a rough start to the 2026 IPL season, losing all three of their opening games and remaining at the bottom of the table. Head coach Stephen Fleming expressed the urgency of the situation, especially with Dewald Brevis’ injury status. Brevis missed the first three matches due to a side strain but is expected to make a comeback for the next game against Delhi Capitals after a five-day gap. Fleming mentioned that they are eagerly awaiting his return to regain balance and momentum.

Brevis was seen practicing on match day, showing no signs of discomfort. He had also trained ahead of the previous game against Punjab Kings. The South African batter had performed well in the previous season and was retained for 2026. Chennai will rely on him in the middle order once he is fit. The team had struggled with only two overseas players in one game and three in another. Overall, Brevis’ return is crucial for Chennai’s performance in the upcoming matches.
