After struggling in the first half of the tournament, Chennai Super Kings had further setbacks in the form of injuries to their crucial players. They then made some replacements, one of which included Dewald Brevis being brought in as a replacement for the injured Gurjapneet Singh.
After the controversy broke, where Ashwin accused the CSK management of having paid an extra bit of money to Brevis to have him in the middle of the season, which declares a bend of rules, the management issued their official statement, which states that no rules were broken as Brevis was paid the same INR 2.20 crores, which was the auction bid price of the injured Gurjapneet Singh.
“I just want to say this. I focus more on cricket rather than the chatter on social media. We make videos on YouTube to give our opinions. People who watch our videos don't do any wrongdoing. However, those who don't watch can twist the statements according to their whims and fancies. In today's world, news can be made based on one statement or headline,” Ashwin said on his channel ‘Ash Ki Baat.’
Ravichandran Ashwin reacts to CSK statement
Reacting to the CSK official statement, Ashwin mentioned that his attempts were only to clarify the doubts of many people, who were confused about Brevis' signing for INR 2.20 Crores, since unsold players are most likely to be picked for their base prices.
“One must understand that when a franchise wants a player, they talk to the latter and their agent. The franchise then tells the BCCI about a player getting injured and a replacement player coming in. If there is anything wrong in the process, that player would not play for the franchise,” he added.
“My intent in the old video was to talk about Brevis' batting, not about his IPL signing amount. We have to understand that every player who plays in the IPL has a contract with the franchise and the tournament. The franchise and the IPL have a binding contract. If there is anything wrong, it won't be ratified,” said Ashwin.
"If you're an RCB or a CSK fan, you should sit back and go GAGA over the prospects that these teams have for the future. There are multiple tournaments, and I think Dewald Brevis will also turn up in the SA20. I am hearing that Dewald Brevis might change teams in SA20 as well. So let's wait and watch," Ravichandran Ashwin concluded.
Dewald Brevis misses Virat Kohli's record in Australia by a whisker
Brevis, with a century and a fifty, has scored 180 runs in 3 games in the series against Australia and now sits second after Virat Kohli to have scored the most runs in a T20I series in Australia. Kohli sits at the top with 199 runs in 3 games. Brevis fell 20 runs short, but his remarkable 125* will be an innings to remember.
