Chennai Super Kings are set to receive a boost for their upcoming match against Delhi Capitals on April 11, as middle-order batsman Dewald Brevis is expected to be fit for the crucial fixture. The South African player indicated that he has recovered from a side strain during a sponsor event, expressing his excitement to return to the field and play for the team’s fans.
Having finished last in the previous season, the five-time champions have had a rough start this year, losing their first three matches. Brevis, who scored 225 runs in six matches last season as an injury replacement for Gurjapneet Singh, will be a welcome addition to the struggling team.
On the other hand, former captain M.S. Dhoni is still recovering from a calf strain and is unlikely to feature in the match on Saturday. Dhoni had been ruled out for the first two weeks of the tournament and did not travel with the team for their away games in Guwahati and Bengaluru. However, the 44-year-old did train in Chennai before the team’s first home game against Punjab Kings last week.
The news of Brevis’ potential return and Dhoni’s continued absence adds intrigue to the upcoming match against Delhi Capitals. Fans will be eager to see if the addition of Brevis can help turn the team’s fortunes around as they look to secure their first win of the season. Published on Apr 08, 2026.
