"His door is always open. If he’s sleeping, that’s the only time it’s closed. I’ve often found myself in his room, just sitting there, chatting about cricket or his hobbies. Everyone knows what he does on the field and at training, but off the field he’s just as inspiring. I really enjoyed my time there,” he added.

Brevis' six-match outing with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) produced 225 runs at an average of 37.50 and a strike rate of 180.

Brevis described his stint with Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025, describing it as an "incredible" experience.

“I’ll always remember like, whenever I tell people it’s amazing. I had amazing times, my four years [in IPL]. It was incredible," Brevis told De Villiers.
