Banter When We Run Past Each Other! CSK Starlet Opens Up On Bond With MI Starboy Dewald Brevis, the South African star player for Chennai Super Kings, reflected on his enduring friendship with Mumbai Indians batter Tilak Verma during an interview with legendary Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin on his YouTube channel. The two players, who formed a strong bond while playing together for MI, have maintained their connection despite Brevis joining CSK in 2026. Brevis shared how their relationship evolved during their time at MI before he moved to CSK, highlighting the camaraderie that developed over three years. Brevis described the banter between him and Verma as a fun aspect of their rivalry, particularly during matches when they faced each other. He recalled instances where they exchanged playful remarks as they ran past each other on the field, a tradition that has become a signature part of their interactions. “It’s funny how we end up playing each other,” Brevis said, emphasizing that the banter adds a unique flavor to their competitive encounters. The South African player also spoke about Verma’s personal connection to his family, noting that the Indian batter had visited his home in South Africa during his time there. “When he was in South Africa, he’s been to my family’s place,” Brevis shared, underscoring the depth of their friendship. He praised Verma as a “superstar” and expressed confidence that MI would retain him, calling him a key player for the team. Brevis, who returned to CSK after recovering from a side-strain that kept him out of the team’s first three games of the 2026 IPL season, also highlighted the positive environment he has found within the Chennai setup.#chennai_super_kings #ravichandran_ashwin #dewald_brevis #mumbai_indians #tilak_verma
