South Africa’s Dewald Brevis on Monday (October 31) showed why he is touted as the future batting superstar.
Playing in the CSA T20 Challenge for Titans, Brevis gave a glimpse of his extraordinary talent as he slammed a 35-ball century against Knights.
Fondly known as ‘Baby AB’ for his AB de Villiers-like batting style, Brevis took the Knights bowling attack to the cleaners and ended up scoring 162 off just 57 balls at an astonishing strike rate of 284.21.
The 19-year-old smashed 13 massive sixes and as many fours in his dazzling knock, fetching 130 runs in boundaries alone.
Thanks to his whirlwind innings, the Titans posted a massive total of 271 on the board. In reply, the Knights tried their best but could manage 230/9 in 20 overs, losing the match by 41 runs.
Dewald Brevis' scintillating century took social media by storm and the highlights of his innings went viral on social media.
