🏏 CSK Responds to R. Ashwin's 'Extra' Pay Claim Over Dewald Brevis
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have issued a strong rebuttal to claims made by former Indian cricketer R. Ashwin regarding the signing of South African batter Dewald Brevis during the IPL 2025 season. Ashwin had alleged that CSK paid an "extra" amount beyond the stipulated base price to secure Brevis as an injury replacement for Gurjapneet Singh
In response, CSK categorically clarified that all actions taken during Brevis' signing were in complete compliance with the IPL Player Regulations 2025-27, specifically clause 6.6 under 'Replacement Players'. The franchise emphasized that the league fee paid to Brevis was not more than the amount payable to the injured player, Gurjapneet Singh, who was bought at the auction for ₹2.2 crore.
Brevis, who joined CSK mid-season, made an immediate impact by scoring 225 runs in just six matches at a strike rate of around 180. His explosive performances were a silver lining in an otherwise challenging season for CSK, who finished 10th in the points table.
Ashwin's comments had sparked controversy, with some questioning the legitimacy of the signing process. However, CSK's official statement aims to dispel any doubts and reaffirm the franchise's adherence to the league's regulations.
