Dewald Brevis is a proper star in making. He will be celebrated across the globe for years to come. 💪

Dewald Brevis' carnage ended in the 12th over. The 22-year-old lost his wicket while trying to play a big shot off a slower bouncer from Nathan Ellis. However, he failed to get enough distance and was caught by Glenn Maxwell at long-on.

It is worth mentioning that Brevis is currently the highest run-scorer of the series. He has amassed 180 runs across three innings at a strike rate of 204.54.

The dynamic batter stole the show in the second T20I, remaining unbeaten on 125 off 56 deliveries. He became the youngest South African batter to hit a T20I century.
