The South African batter, who had been sidelined from the first few games with a side strain, looked comfortable on his comeback and was pleased to contribute in a winning effort for the team.

"It was fun; I enjoyed it. It was great to be out here in front of the crowd, very special. And yeah, just spending time getting to know the wicket. It was a bit different compared to the other night, but yeah, lots of fun. It was absolutely great to dive around on the field as well, to have a good swing with the bat and just get a feel for it. It feels like I’ve gained some confidence because it wasn’t nice being out with a side strain. But yeah, I feel strong and I’m glad we got the win,” Brevis told JioStar.

The Proteas star's return adds depth to the CSK batting unit, with the youngster known for his aggressive strokeplay and ability to shift momentum quickly. He also reserved special praise for emerging talent Mhatre, applauding the youngster’s fearless style and natural approach to the game.
