Dewald Brevis, the young South African sensation, left the Narendra Modi Stadium in awe during the Angel One Super Sixes Challenge, a six-hitting tournament that harked back to the entertaining contests of previous IPL seasons. Brevis smashed a massive hit down the ground from a bowling machine and smashed one right through the sightscreen. The crowd was aghast and smashed the competition's maximum 6-hitting prize of Rs 2 lacs, with the longest hit of the challenge at 114 meters. Brevis, who is often referred to as "Baby AB" (for his likeness to AB de Villiers), was the top run-scorer for CSK among overseas batters (6 innings). Brevis' strike rate of 180.0 certainly played into this aggressive batting. 

Dewald Brevis's entry to CSK turned out to be a blessing in disguise. He signed midseason due to the absence of Gurjapneet Singh through injury, and his inclusion injected much-needed energy and firepower into the squad. While CSK had one of their toughest seasons ever--finishing last for the first time in their 16 years of being a franchise--Dewald emerged as a key performer. He gave the team some fight, and while he was one of the few standout performers, his short sample of match-winning performances reminded the CSK faithful of better days.
