IPL 2025: CSK Celebrate Dewald Brevis Birthday, Gurjapneet Singh Spotted with Players Despite Being Ruled Out Due to Injury
The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) contingent took to social media to celebrate the 22nd birthday of their youngster, Dewald Brevis, on Tuesday, April 29. According to a report by Free Press Journal, the franchise uploaded a video of Brevis on their official social media handle, which featured Gurjapneet Singh, whose injury replacement was Brevis, spotted with the players.
As reported by Free Press Journal, on April 18, the Indian Premier League (IPL) officially announced Brevis as the injury replacement for left-arm speedster Gurjapneet Singh. Although the nature of the injury was not mentioned, Brevis delivered a promising performance on his CSK debut, smashing Kamindu Mendis for three sixes in an over in his 25-ball 42. However, it went in vain as the SunRisers Hyderabad chased down the target of 155 set with five wickets to spare.
The video uploaded by CSK on their social media handle showed Gurjapneet Singh interacting with the players, despite being ruled out due to injury. This has raised questions about the nature of his injury and whether he is expected to make a swift return to the team. As per Free Press Journal, it is clear that CSK is keeping a close eye on their injured player, who is still an integral part of the team.
Meanwhile, CSK is gearing up to face the Punjab Kings in a crucial match that could potentially decide their fate in the tournament. Having lost seven games this year, including four at home, the five-time champions’ fortress has crumbled in stunning fashion this year. As reported by Free Press Journal, although CSK is virtually still alive, they will need plenty of results to go their way, even if MS Dhoni and co. beat the Punjab Kings on Wednesday.
The Punjab Kings, who are coming off a washout against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Eden Gardens, had beaten Chennai earlier in the season. They produced a power-packed batting performance against the Knight Riders and will be looking forward to repeating that against Chennai. According to Free Press Journal, the Kings will be looking to capitalise on CSK’s weaknesses and secure another win.
In conclusion, CSK’s celebration of Dewald Brevis’ birthday has raised questions about Gurjapneet Singh’s injury and his expected return to the team. As the franchise gears up to face the Punjab Kings, they will need to address their weaknesses and secure a win to keep their tournament hopes alive. As reported by Free Press Journal, the match promises to be an exciting encounter, with both teams looking to secure a win.
