Dewald Brevis joined Chennai Super Kings mid-season as an injury replacement, initially carrying modest expectations. However, he quickly made an impact, showcasing his aggressive batting style and adaptability. Dewald Brevis showcased his signature no-look six in Chennai Super Kings’ IPL 2025 clash against Rajasthan Royals in Delhi on May 20.
The No-Look Six That Broke the Internet
During Chennai Super Kings’ IPL 2025 match against Rajasthan Royals in Delhi on May 20, Dewald Brevis delivered a stunning no-look six, electrifying the crowd. With CSK struggling at 78/5, South African pacer Kwena Maphaka bowled a fuller-length delivery in the ninth over, aiming to build pressure. Brevis, unfazed, flicked the ball over deep mid-wicket without even watching its trajectory, showcasing his audacious shot-making ability. The moment quickly became a highlight of the season, reinforcing his reputation as a fearless power-hitter.
The Setup: Ninth Over Drama
Kwena Maphaka bowled a full delivery on leg stump, aiming to trap Dewald Brevis or limit his shot-making. Instead, Brevis effortlessly flicked the ball off his pads, sending it soaring over deep mid-wicket without even looking at its trajectory. His head turned only after the bat had done its work, making the shot an instant spectacle.
If Dewald Brevis is involved, expect some no-look sixes. It’s tradition.😍

Brevis’ Stats Since Joining CSK
Dewald Brevis has shown promise in IPL 2025, delivering key performances despite his limited outings. He started with an explosive 42 off 25 balls against Mumbai Indians, followed by a steady 32 off 26 against Sunrisers Hyderabad. A rare failure against Delhi Capitals saw him dismissed for a duck, but he bounced back with a match-winning 52 off 25 against Kolkata Knight Riders. His aggressive batting has provided much-needed stability to CSK’s struggling middle order, injecting momentum at crucial moments.
CSK’s Struggle Against Rajasthan Royals
Chennai Super Kings struggled early in their IPL 2025 match against Rajasthan Royals, losing five wickets for just 78 runs. The top order collapsed under pressure, leaving the middle and lower order with a tough recovery task. Amid the setbacks, Ayush Mhatre played a crucial knock, scoring 43 off 20 balls, providing some resistance. However, key players like Ravindra Jadeja (1), Urvil Patel (0), and Devon Conway (10) failed to counter Rajasthan’s bowling attack, further deepening CSK’s troubles.
The Resurrection: Brevis to the Rescue
Dewald Brevis and Shivam Dube worked to stabilize Chennai Super Kings’ innings after an early collapse against Rajasthan Royals. While Dube played cautiously, Brevis took charge, balancing aggression with calculated risk. Their partnership helped CSK recover from 78/5 to 102/5 in just a few overs, keeping the scoreboard moving. Brevis showcased a range of strokes beyond his viral no-look six, including well-placed scoops, powerful drives, and confident pulls, energizing the crowd and shifting momentum in CSK’s favor.
