Chennai Super Kings posted a short video of Brevis meeting up his new teammates. The backroom staff including Eric Simons were seen greeting the young batter. Amongst the players, Rachin Ravindra, Mukesh Choudhary, and few others could be seen briefly interacting with the young batting sensation.
Injured skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad could be seen welcoming Brevis into the squad. Gaikwad was heard saying “Enjoy” as the video ended. CSK have also signed young Mumbai batter Ayush Mhatre as a replacement for Gaikwad who was ruled out of the season due to injury.
Aakash Chopra raises concerns about Rohit’s form once again
Former India opener Aakash Chopra has yet again raised his doubts over Rohit Sharma’s form in the IPL 2025 season. Former MI skipper had scored 26 in the last game against Hyderabad before he was dismissed by Pat Cummins. This is Rohit’s highest score of the ongoing season after a string of early failures.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Chopra said, “He raised a few hopes by hitting two or three sixes in the last match. However, if 26 is your highest score in six matches, that's not very good. The opening combination has to fire. You cannot qualify if your opening is not working at all. To be fair, it hasn't worked thus far."
The 47-year-old also said, “Rickelton has scored runs in patches. Rohit hasn't scored that many runs. Will Jacks has come at No. 3 at times and at No. 7 on other occasions. He scored a few runs in the last match. The top three are not shining as bright. That's a huge problem for Mumbai that they need to sort out.” In the last encounter that MI played CSK at this venue, Rohit scored his second IPL ton and eventually was out for 106 runs.
