South Africa batter Dewald Brevis, who plays for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL, smashed a 41-ball century against Australia in the second T20I of the three-match series in Darwin on Tuesday, August 12. The right-handed batter smashed three fours off Ben Dwarshuis's over to bring up his maiden T20I ton in just nine games.

Brevis achieved the milestone by smashing Dwarshuis for a third boundary in the 15th over of the Proteas’ innings. Dwarshuis bowled a short ball, and Brevis pulled it away to the fine leg boundary. The 22-year-old took off his helmet and looked at the sky as he soaked in the applause.

Dewald Brevis became the second-fastest to smash a T20I ton for SA, only behind David Miller (35 balls vs Bangladesh in 2017). At 22 years and 105 days, the Johannesburg-born batter also became the youngest Proteas player to slam a T20I century.

Brevis recently had a breakthrough season in the IPL. Bought in as a replacement player by CSK mid-season, the youngster smashed 225 runs in six games at a stunning strike rate of 180, including two half-centuries. His heroics for CSK helped him make his T20I comeback.
