In the official statement released on Saturday, CSK made it clear that, “Dewold Bravis has been signed as a replacement player under Claus 6.6 of IPL Player Regulations 2025-27. It is completely in accordance with the League rules.”

In fact, Brevis was linked to the team for Rs 2.2 crore, which came as a replacement due to Gurjapneet Singh’s injury. Significantly, Gurjapneet was also purchased at the same price in the IPL 2025 auction. According to the rule, the replacement player can be signed on the same amount as he joined the player team, which he is replacing.

Ashwin claimed in his video that, “2-3 teams were talking for Brevis, but no franchise was ready to pay extra money. In such a situation, CSK took advantage of the opportunity and signed it as a demand.”

He further said that Brevis showed amazing game in the second half and with this CSK also corrected his team’s combination. Now they also have a purse of Rs 30 crore before the mini auction, so that he can prepare a dangerous squad.

In such a situation, it is clear from the official statement released by Chennai Super Kings that CSK’s signing was completely legal, due to which CSK’s confidence will increase even more in the coming season.
