South African batter Dewald Brevis has revealed the reason behind his choice of jersey number 12 for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2025. It must be mentioned that Brevis joined CSK as an injury replacement for Gurjapneet Singh.
While many players choose their jersey numbers based on lucky digits, past idols, or personal milestones, the South African batter had his own reasons to select the jersey number 12. He shared that May 12 was the date when he received the call from CSK management informing him that they were interested in signing him. This moment was significant for him, marking a turning point in his IPL journey.

His ability to accelerate the innings and play fearless cricket has made him a valuable asset for CSR
The ongoing IPL season proved to be a great lesson for Chennai Super Kings. From the beginning of the tournament, they struggled and never found the right rhythm to bounce back. In the later part of the tournament, CSK management made some changes, signing new-age players in the hope of finding some positive notes.
