Dewald Brevis
On scorecards: D Brevis · Right-hand bat
Dewald Brevis, a batter, has played four IPL seasons for two franchises.
The arrival
Dewald Brevis arrived through the auction: Mumbai Indians paid ₹3 cr, against a base price of ₹20 lakh.
That first season brought 7 matches, 161 runs and 1 wicket.
The peak
The high point with the bat was 2025, for Chennai Super Kings: 225 runs at an average of 37.5, striking at 180.0 in a season when the league as a whole struck at 152.9, with 2 fifties, and a highest score of 57.
Franchise by franchise
2022 to 2024, Mumbai Indians. Bought at the 2022 auction for ₹3 cr. 10 matches, 230 runs and 1 wicket.
2025 to 2026, Chennai Super Kings. Arrived outside the auction. 17 matches and 376 runs.
2 spells with two franchises in all. The longest was with Mumbai Indians, 2022 to 2024. 2023 is missing from the record: a season without an IPL appearance.
How the runs came
Across the career, Dewald Brevis has struck at 146.1. The league around those same seasons, weighted by how much batting each one involved, struck at 148.5, so the scoring rate has tracked the league's almost exactly. 68% of the runs came in fours and sixes: 38 fours and 43 sixes.
The fielding record: 22 catches and 1 run-out.
At the auction
Dewald Brevis has gone under the hammer twice, bought once and left unsold once. The price was ₹3 cr, paid by Mumbai Indians in 2022, more than 15 times the base price.
Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.
Where it stands
Dewald Brevis has made 27 IPL appearances, the latest for Chennai Super Kings in 2026, and has won 1 player-of-the-match award.
