Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) power-hitter Dewald Brevis expressed satisfaction after returning to action for the five-time champions, who beat Kolkata Knight Riders on Tuesday at their home ground, and highlighted the importance of regaining rhythm and confidence following his recovery from injury. He also lauded young Ayush Mhatre’s impact on the side’s batting, calling him 'special'.
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.
