Former Indian cricket team batter Virender Sehwag blamed Chennai Super Kings star Dewald Brevis for his controversial dismissal during the IPL 2025 encounter against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Brevis was given out LBW off the bowling of Lungi Ngidi but the South Africa international was not convinced with the decision. Brevis had a conversation with Ravindra Jadeja and by the time he went for the review, the allotted 15 seconds had run out and the on-field umpires informed him of the circumstances. It led to a massive row with Jadeja having an argument with the umpires.
Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming admitted that a missed review chance involving Dewald Brevis proved to be a turning point in the match as his side slumped to a narrow two-run loss against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. A huge DRS controversy took place in the final overs of CSK's run-chase of RCB after Dewald Brevis ran out of time to review an LBW call. The incident occurred on the third ball of the 17th over during CSK's chase of 214. Ngidi bowled a knee-high full toss that hit Brevis on the pad. The umpire quickly gave it out. As per the rules, the ball became dead at that point, and the 15-second timer kicked off.

It looked like the umpire erred with the call, prompting the signal of a review by the young CSK batter. However, the South African was left heartbroken after being told that the time to review the call had run out.
