Dewald Brevis was dismissed for a first-ball duck by Lungi Ngidi.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batter Dewald Brevis was dismissed in controversial fashion in the IPL 2025 match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on Saturday.
Facing Lungi Ngidi in the 17th over, Dewald Brevis was struck LBW and the umpire gave him out.
Brevis then got involved in a discussion with his partner Ravindra Jadeja but by the time he asked the umpire for a review, the DRS timer had seemingly run out.
Interestingly, had Brevis taken the review, the South African would have been not out. Ball-tracking showed the that impact was on umpire’s call whereas the ball was missing leg-stump.
That was a huge opportunity lost for Chennai Super Kings as they went down to Royal Challengers Bengaluru by two runs. Brevis’ dismissal was not the only turning point in the visitors’ run chase. At one stage, Chennai Super Kings were cruising with Ayush Mhatre (94) and Ravindra Jadeja (77) in the middle.
The two of them forged 114 runs for the third wicket and it seemed like Chennai Super Kings would have it their way. However, the teenager Mhatre was dismissed in the 17th over, leaving the Yellow Brigade at 172/3. The very next ball, the visitors lost Dewald Brevis, leaving them in a spot of bother at 172/4.
