Which I feel is, first of all, very, very wrong. Being a current player, being in the same team, talking about another player&#8217;s contract &#8211; even though it might have been in a different context &#8211; this is the problem it can lead to,\u201d Anirudha said on the Cheeky Cheeka YouTube channel. \u201cYou never talk about another person&#8217;s contract, first of all. And because of that, CSK have strongly put out a statement. All the fans have been given that ease, stating: don\u2019t worry at all, for the next two years this player is only for us,\u201d he added. The row began when Ashwin suggested that CSK were willing to pay \u201cextra\u201d to sign Brevis in IPL 2025. The comments sparked speculation about the legality of the move, and led to the franchise releasing a clarification. Responding to the backlash, the former India spinner clarified that his remarks were never about finances. \u201cMy intent in the old video was to talk about Brevis\u2019 batting, not about his IPL signing amount,\u201d Ashwin explained. \u201cWe have to understand that every player who plays in the IPL has a contract with the franchise and the tournament. If there is anything wrong, it won\u2019t be ratified. My point was about his batting, not money.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Poll<\/p>\n<p>Do you think R Ashwin&#8217;s comments about Dewald Brevis&#8217; contract were inappropriate?<\/p>\n<p> He also underlined the importance of addressing such controversies quickly in the current media landscape. \u201cIn today\u2019s time, there is a need to clarify the right things as well. No mistake has been made by the franchise, the player or the governing body,\u201d Ashwin said. While Ashwin moved to set the record straight, Anirudha\u2019s sharp criticism offers a reminder as to how sensitive matters like contract discussions are and that him speaking up about it while being a current teammate was far from ideal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dewald Brevis and R Ashwin for CSK in the 2025 campaign (Images via Getty Images) Former Chennai Super&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":75301,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[38675,38678,38677,1721,38674,38679,36920,38676,23306,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-75300","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-ashwin-csk","9":"tag-ashwin-dewald-brevis","10":"tag-brevis-contract","11":"tag-cricket","12":"tag-csk-ashwin","13":"tag-csk-ashwin-brevis","14":"tag-dewald-brevis","15":"tag-dewald-brevis-contract","16":"tag-ipl-news","17":"tag-sports","18":"tag-uk","19":"tag-united-kingdom","20":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75300","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=75300"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75300\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/75301"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75300"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=75300"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=75300"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
