Dewald Brevis didn’t arrive at CSK with a bang. He came in quietly, as a mid-season replacement; no hype, no pressure. But maybe that’s what he needed. At the Mumbai Indians, he was boxed in by expectations. “Baby AB,” they called him, a label too heavy for a boy still figuring things out.

CSK didn’t ask him to be the next big thing. They just gave him space, and that changed everything.

Under Dhoni’s calm presence and a system built on trust, Brevis stopped playing for approval and started playing for the team. You can see it in his body language: settled, grounded, sharp.

He’s no longer a kid chasing fame. He’s a young man who knows who he is, finally playing his brand of cricket.

And if things keep going this way, CSK won’t just be a chapter, it’ll be his whole book, titled, “The Boy Who Found Himself in Yellow.”
