Did CSK exploit IPL rule loophole to sign Dewald Brevis? Aakash Chopra
Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra pondered over whether the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) took advantage of a loophole in the Indian Premier League's player replacement rules when they signed South Africa's Dewald Brevis midway through the 2025 season. The chatter comes after Ravichandran Ashwin revealed that Brevis had negotiated a deal with the franchise for a sum higher than his base joined CSK as an injury replacement for Gurjapneet Singh. Gurjapneet, a left-arm pacer, was signed for Rs 2.20 crore at the mega auction. Brevis, who went unsold in that auction, had a base price of Rs 75 lakh and was part of the Registered Available Player Pool (RAPP) -- a list of players who remain available to franchises if they go the price structure, Chopra pointed out that players signed mid-season are paid on a pro-rata basis, meaning they get a proportion of the salary depending on how much of the season is left. In this case, Brevis was entitled to at least half of his base price (Rs 37.5 lakh) because he joined in the middle of the season. However, he could also be paid up to half of the injured player's salary. Since Gurjapneet's price was Rs 2.20 crore, the maximum Brevis could officially receive under the rules would be around Rs 1.10 crore for the remainder of the 2025 season. "He didn't play the first match, but after that, he batted extremely well and took an incredible catch on the boundary. Ashwin has disclosed that he asked for more money. Is there any provision to give him more money than he should have gotten officially? In such a case, can the purse limit be broken? Is there a loophole there, which Ashwin has highlighted," Chopra said in his YouTube show."You get your total salary on a pro-rata basis. It cannot be lower than your base price. In Dewald Brevis' case, it couldn't have been lower than Rs 75 lakh, and couldn't have been above Rs 2.20 crore, the salary of Gurjapneet Singh," he run in the 2025 season was very disappointing. The team had won just 2 out of their first 7 games and needed some firepower in the middle order. Brevis, however, added solidity to the middle-order. The right-handed batter scored 225 runs in 6 matches at a blistering strike-rate of WAS ASHWIN'S CLAIM?Ashwin recently claimed that several franchises had approached Brevis during IPL 2025, but the deals could not get finalized because they were not ready to pay extra. He alleged that CSK agreed to pay a negotiated sum to secure the player's services, though he did not confirm if it was above the Rs2.20 crore to Chopra, Ashwin's comments suggest that CSK might have paid more than the official limit to keep Brevis in the squad beyond the 2025 season, keeping in mind the flamboyant power-hitting of the young batter as a long-term prospect."Ashwin is saying that players ask for more money, and according to him, the Chennai Super Kings agreed as well. In case you have given more than Rs 2.20 crore, as it's a plan for next year, if there was a loophole, you have exploited it," Chopra in the ongoing bilateral series between South Africa and Australia, Brevis became the youngest South African to hit a century in Men's T20Is and now also has the second-fastest hundred for the country off 41 balls to his name.- EndsMust Watch
