Dewald Brevis no se vendió en la reciente mega subasta IPL 2025.
When the IPL 2025 mega auction concluded, one of the biggest surprises was Dewald Brevis going unsold. How could someone once heralded as the next AB de Villiers, a prodigy with monstrous six-hitting power, be left without a team? Franchise owners pointed to inconsistency, but Brevis had the perfect response ready: a fiery 57 off just 29 balls in the SA20 2025 opener for MI Cape Town.
Dewald Brevis starts SA20 2025 with a bang!
Coming in at a precarious 42/3 after the powerplay, Brevis walked into a tricky situation. Batting at number five in T20 cricket isn’t a glamorous spot — you’re expected to either rebuild or explode, often with little room for error. Brevis chose the latter, tearing apart the opposition with a breathtaking strike rate of 196.55. His innings featured towering sixes and his signature “no-look” maximum that left fans buzzing. The young batter’s blitz not only salvaged MI Cape Town’s innings but also set the tone for the tournament’s opening match against the defending champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape!
From “Baby AB” to nowhere?
In 2022, Brevis was the talk of the cricketing world. He shattered records at the U19 World Cup and landed a lucrative IPL deal with the Mumbai Indians. His fearless style and ability to clear boundaries made him an instant fan favourite. At 19, he looked like a player destined to dominate world cricket for the next decade.
But fast-forward to late 2024, and things weren’t so rosy. Brevis struggled for consistency across various T20 leagues and hadn’t broken into South Africa’s T20I side. The hype died down. When he went unsold in the IPL auction, it felt like a chapter had closed. But doing well in the SA20 could be best option for Brevis, who knows how to startle everyone with his performances.
