Dewald Brevis sent the batter back to pavilion with his brilliant effort at the fence. (Videograbs)South African cricketer Dewald Brevis has continued to hog limelight as the youngster took a jaw dropping catch after smashing a record breaking 162 off just 57 balls. Brevis took this catch during a Titans vs Knights match in the ongoing CSA T20 Challenge on Monday.
The magnificent effort from the 19-year-old Brevis was witnessed during the 7th over of Knights’ inning when Harmer smashed a big hit trying to clear the boundary ropes. But the brilliant fielding effort from the South African teenager sent him back to pavilion. Bravis first stopped the ball from going out for a six, and later dived inside the rope to complete the catch.

The youngster who is fondly called Baby AB also received high praise from AB de Villiers himself who took to Twitter and said, โDewald Brevis. No need to say more.โ
This is not the first time that Brevis has courted praise from his idol. โI know Dewald very well. I have been his mentor for about two years now and helped him with his batting and his attitude towards cricket,โ De Villiers had told Netwerk24.
