IPL 2025: CSK created 'fake injury' for Gurjapneet Singh? Photos from Dewald Brevis' birthday go viral
The 18th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has been full of surprises, with former champion teams sitting at the bottom of the points table while sides yet to win a trophy are leading the chart. At the 10th spot on the table is the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The team in yellow is in a rut after nine games in IPL 2025, with just four points from their two wins against Mumbai Indians (MI) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Amid all this, they've faced injuries to players — most notably their captain, Ruturaj Gaikwad, who sustained an elbow injury, and Gurjapneet Singh, who is out due to an undisclosed injury. Gurjapneet Singh injury CSK on April 18 announced that the 26-year-old left-arm pacer Gurjapneet Singh had been ruled out of the season due to injury. The Tamil Nadu seamer, bought for INR 2.2 crore, did not get a chance to play any matches. Following his injury, CSK signed young South African batter Dewald Brevis as his replacement for the same amount. Notably, Brevis became CSK's second replacement signing, after Ayush Mhatre was brought in to replace the injured Ruturaj Gaikwad. Is Gurjapneet Singh not injured? There appears to be more to the story surrounding Gurjapneet Singh's injury. Despite being officially ruled out, he was reportedly seen bowling during an intra-squad match organized by CSK on April 23. X (Formerly known as Twitter) user Vinoth Kumar, who attended the session, shared several pictures and videos, claiming that Gurjapneet not only bowled with full intensity but also took part in fielding drills. Gurjapneet was bowling and fielding. Additionally, on April 29, he was seen enjoying Dewald Brevis' birthday celebrations, a detail that many fans took note of. Fans question CSK management This development didn't sit well with fans, especially on X, where many slammed CSK — accusing the franchise of faking an injury and demanding action. Several users even called for a ban, labeling CSK as "cheaters." One said, "Brevis celebrating with the one he replaced for injury. BCCI cracked down on players not showing up post-auction, they cracked down on pricing in mini auctions or players registering for them. Now it's time to crack down on fake injury replacements used to cover auction mistakes." Brevis celebrating with one whom he replaced for cracked down on players not showing up post auction, they cracked down on price in mini auction or players registering in mini auction. Now it's time to crackdown on fake injury replacement to cover auction mistake. Another wrote, "Cheater Kings are back." Cheater Kings are back:BCCI bend rules to let retired players in as "uncapped"Faked a captain's injury so Dhoni could play hero -> send off floppedPretended injury to Gurjapneet, snuck in Dewald BrewisBending rules and finding loopholes after the auction failed brutally One user commented, "LMAO that's Gurjapneet Singh, by the way… the fit guy who was declared unfit by this shady franchise so Brevis could be picked."

Ban this cheating franchise for another 2 years Can CSK qualify for the IPL 2025 Playoffs? CSK now need a miracle to salvage their season — they must win all their remaining matches and hope results from other top-half teams work in their favour. However, the management appears to be taking a realistic approach. Both head coach Stephen Fleming and MS Dhoni have hinted at shifting focus toward rebuilding for the next season.
