Dewald Brevis for MI CT and CSK (Source:@MICapeTown and @seven_ex_/X.com)
Dewald Brevis has shown great form in recent times across formats and recently smashed a fifty on his Test debut against Zimbabwe. His rich run of form started in the SA20 2025, where he was playing for MI Cape Town, and he then translated that in IPL for Chennai Super Kings.
Now, ahead of the auction for the SA20 2026, there are some social media accounts that are claiming that the batter will play for the Joburg Super Kings this season. JSK is the sister franchise of Chennai Super Kings, and thus, it is believed that Brevis wants to continue his association with Super Kings.
Rumours Of Brevis' Association With Super Kings Take Centrestage
A social media account with the name of Abhinav MSDian stated that MI Cape Town have released Dewald Brevis. It further added that JSK swiftly decided to sign Dewald Brevis for the 2026 season.

However, there is no official confirmation or a reliable report that such a development has happened in SA20. All such claims on X have been made by accounts that look like a fan page of CSK, and thus, they seem to be keen to see Dewald Brevis play for the Super Kings franchise in SA20 too. Thus, currently, there is no truth behind claims of Brevis making a shift from MICT to JSK.
Dewald Brevis came in as a replacement for Gurjapneet Singh midway during IPL 2025 and immediately made an impact. He scored 225 runs in six innings and is likely to be retained by the franchise for the next edition.
However, it is highly unlikely that MI Cape Town will release Brevis ahead of the 2026 season. They have backed him from the inaugural edition, and after his good performance in the last season, they would be looking at Brevis as one of their long-term options.
