Stubbs And Brevis Secured: DC And CSK Finalise Retentions For IPL 2026
For the IPL 2026 season, each Tristan Stubbs and Dewald Brevis have been officially retained by their respective franchises following standout performances in previous years. Tristan Stubbs stays a cornerstone of the Delhi Capitals (DC) middle order after being retained for INR 10 crore.
His retention follows a breakthrough 2024 season where he was DC’s second-highest run-scorer with 378 runs at a strike rate of 190.90, the best in death overs that yr. As DC heads into 2026 under a “smart rebuild” strategy, Stubbs is anticipated to play a significant ending role alongside newly traded-in veteran Nitish Rana.
Meanwhile, Dewald Brevis has secured his spot with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for IPL 2026 after the franchise retained him for INR 2.2 crore. Originally signed as a alternative player throughout the 2025 season, “Baby AB” quickly became a fan favourite by scoring 225 runs in only six innings at an explosive strike rate of 180.
His value has skyrocketed globally, as evidenced by him becoming the most costly player in SA20 history for the 2026 season. Experts like Anil Kumble have tipped Brevis to be a long-term cornerstone for CSK, especially because the team transitions right into a latest era.
