Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have received a major medical boost ahead of their upcoming Indian Premier League match against Delhi Capitals (DC). Dewald Brevis has been declared fit to play after recovering from a side strain, while wicketkeeper-batter Mahendra Singh Dhoni is also close to regaining full fitness.
Chennai, led by Ruturaj Gaikwad have had a disappointing start to the Indian Premier League 2026 season. They have lost their first three matches and are currently at the bottom of the points table. The Chennai-based franchise has a poor net run rate (NRR) of -2.517 after suffering consecutive defeats this year.
Dewald Brevis missed the first three matches of the Indian Premier League season due to a side strain. The South African batter was initially expected to miss only two games. Stephen Fleming said Brevis was undergoing rehab and would return to the squad soon.
According to RevSportz, Brevis is now fit to play against Delhi Capitals (DC) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday, April 11. The team has lost its first three matches.
Chennai Super Kings retained Brevis ahead of the 2026 season. He joined the team as a replacement player last season and scored 225 runs in six innings. The Proteas batter scored at a brilliant strike rate of 180 and hit two fifties in the previous edition.
MS Dhoni Nears Full Fitness Following Calf Strain
MS Dhoni suffered a calf strain and missed the opening matches for Chennai Super Kings. He recently spent time in the nets and batted without much discomfort. However, Dhoni did not travel with the squad for away games against Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru earlier this week.
He has undergone one fitness test and will have another evaluation soon. Dhoni could return to action against Kolkata Knight Riders on April 14.
Chennai Super Kings have also missed his calm presence and on-field guidance. In his absence, Sanju Samson has taken over wicketkeeping duties, while Kartik Sharma has featured in the playing XI in all three matches this season.
Chennai Super Kings Endure Poor Start In IPL 2026
Chennai Super Kings are going through a difficult phase in IPL 2026 after losing their first three matches. They suffered a 43-run defeat against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, where RCB posted 250/3. They had earlier lost to Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Rajasthan Royals (RR).
The team is dealing with injury concerns around Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Dewald Brevis, making things tougher. This is their second-worst start in IPL history, and their record at the MA Chidambaram Stadium has also dropped, with just three wins in the last 15 matches since 2023.
Chennai will next face Delhi Capitals, followed by matches against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on April 14, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on April 18 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, and Mumbai Indians (MI) on April 23 at the Wankhede Stadium as they look for their first win.
