Former CSK Player Slams Ashwin Over Brevis Contract Remarks
Former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batter Anirudha Srikkanth has criticised current player R. Ashwin for publicly discussing Dewald Brevis’s mid-season signing details on his YouTube channel. Srikkanth called such commentary unprofessional, especially when it comes from an active IPL player, and deemed it unnecessary.
Ashwin Addresses Backlash
R. Ashwin clarified that his remarks were meant to celebrate Brevis’s remarkable batting potential—not to highlight financial matters. He emphasized that his focus was on cricketing value and not on contract specifics, as misinterpretation of his words sparked widespread debate.
CSK Responds to Allegations
Amid the controversy, CSK issued an official statement affirming that Dewald Brevis was signed following IPL regulations. He was brought in as an injury replacement for Gurjapneet Singh, and the deal conformed with the player fee structure outlined in the league’s rules.
