The young batter Dewald Brevis has completely changed the momentum in CSK’s favour against KKR in the ongoing 57th game of the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025). CSK were struggling at the moment after losing five wickets early at the score of just 60 runs in 5.2 overs.
It was the sensational strike launched by Dewald Brevis over KKR pacer Vaibhav Arora in the 11th over of the CSK innings in the second half of the game. Leaving everyone awestruck, Brevis smashed 30 runs in this over, bowled by Arora, shifting the momentum in CSK’s favour from a losing position.
The young Proteas batter started Arora’s over with a six over the long-off region, followed by a four in the fine leg region, on the second ball of the over. The third ball was a lower full toss, which Brevis smashed directly over the bowler’s head for a brilliant six, followed by a successive six on the fourth ball over the long-on region. The 22-year-old ended this expensive 11th over, with a four in the extra-cover region, on the sixth and last ball of the over.
The video of Dewald Brevis smashing 30 runs in an over, bowled by KKR pacer Vaibhav Arora, also went viral on social media as soon as it was shared on the official X handle (formerly Twitter).
