Dewald Brevis smashes 3 sixes off Kamindu Mendis in an over on his Super Kings debut during CSK vs SRH IPL 2025 clash [Watch]

Dewald Brevis starred with the bat on his Chennai Super Kings (CSK) debut during their IPL 2025 match against SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Chepauk on Friday, April 25. The right-handed Proteas batter made the most of his chance at No. 5, smashing 42 runs off just 25 balls, including four sixes.

The 21-year-old slammed three maximums off Kamindu Mendis in the same over, which yielded 20 runs. He eventually departed as Mendis took a stunning catch off Harshal Patel's bowling.

Brevis smashed the sixes in the 12th over of CSK’s innings. The middle-order batter began the over by smashing a tossed-up delivery over long-on. He then hit the fourth and sixth deliveries over deep mid-wicket and long off, respectively.
