Dewald Brevis

Dewald Tobias Brevis is a dynamic South African international cricketer known for his powerful batting and emerging all-round skills. A right-handed batter who can bowl right-arm leg spin, Brevis has earned the nickname “Baby AB” due to his aggressive stroke play reminiscent of AB de Villiers. He plays domestically for the Titans and has featured in global T20 franchises, including Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Brevis made his T20I debut for South Africa on 30 August 2023 against Australia and earned his ODI debut on 19 August 2025 against Australia. He later made his Test debut on 28 June 2025, contributing with a quick 51 runs in his maiden match.

In August 2025, Brevis produced one of his standout performances by scoring an unbeaten 125 off 56 balls* against Australia — a record for the highest individual T20I score by a South African and the fastest hundred by a Proteas batter in T20Is. He became the youngest South African to score a T20I century, dramatically showcasing his batting power and potential to dominate at the highest level.

Brevis also appeared in the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, continuing to feature in South Africa’s white-ball setup.

Dewald Brevis is a rising South African batting star whose fearless power hitting, record-setting T20 performances and rapid ascent through youth and international cricket have marked him as one of the most promising young talents in world cricket. His ability to play explosive innings and contribute across formats positions him as a future core player for South Africa and in T20 franchise leagues.
