South Afriqa ( The COW News Digital)In a stunning display of talent, South African youngster Dewald Brevis has shattered former Indian captain Virat Kohli’s record during the T20 series against Australia. Brevis, only 22, showcased his explosive batting ability, signaling a bright future for the emerging star.
South Africa played a competitive three-match T20 series in Australia, ultimately losing 1-2 to the host nation. Despite the team’s defeat, Brevis made headlines by breaking records with his aggressive stroke play and consistency. In the third T20, he scored a quick 53 runs off just 26 balls, hitting six sixes and a boundary. Notably, he reached his half-century in only 22 balls, setting a new benchmark in T20 cricket on Australian soil.
Over the course of the three matches, Brevis smashed a total of 14 sixes, surpassing Virat Kohli’s previous record of 12 sixes in 10 matches against Australia. This feat makes Brevis the player with the most sixes in the fewest matches played against the Australian team in their own backyard, highlighting his explosive potential at the international level.
Earlier in the series, during his second T20 match, Brevis scored a remarkable 125 runs off 56 balls, including 12 boundaries and 8 sixes, without getting out. This inning marked only his second professional T20 match, making him one of the fastest players to achieve a century in T20 internationals. His debut match was less impressive, scoring just two runs, but his subsequent performances established him as a formidable batsman.
Brevis’s aggressive style and fearless approach to batting have drawn comparisons with top international players, and his record-breaking feats against Australia underline his ability to perform under pressure. Cricket analysts have praised his composure, timing, and power-hitting skills, emphasizing that he could be a key figure in South Africa’s T20 squad for years to come.
The young batter’s achievements have already generated significant attention on social media, with fans celebrating his record-breaking sixes and remarkable innings. As South Africa continues to groom promising talents, Dewald Brevis’s performances indicate that the team’s future looks exceptionally bright in the shortest format of the game.
With his talent and consistency, Brevis has announced himself as a player to watch, setting the stage for what could be a stellar international career in the years ahead.
