The No-Look Six That Shocked Varun Chakravarthy
The standout moment came when Brevis faced India’s premier bowler Varun Chakravarthy. The world number one on the bowling rankings bowled a delivery expecting caution. Instead, Brevis executed a cheeky no-look shot that sailed over the boundary with such authority. The batsman didn’t even look at the ball after striking it, a sign of complete control and confidence.
Varun Chakravarthy had dominated with his mystery spin throughout the tournament, but Brevis’s audacious approach showed no respect for his reputation. According to multiple sources from the match, Brevis knew exactly where the ball was sailing the moment he made contact. This psychological moment shifted momentum decidedly in South Africa’s favor.
The Crucial 97-Run Partnership Turns the Match

David Miller provided the perfect foil to Brevis’s attacking approach. Their 97-run partnership proved decisive as India looked for breakthroughs repeatedly. Jasprit Bumrah’s 3 for 15 kept the hosts in the contest, but by then South Africa had accumulated enough runs. The middle-order duo showed the kind of maturity and aggression required to succeed at the Super 8 stage.
A Tournament Performance That Demands Respect
Brevis scored 36 runs off 25 balls in South Africa’s group stage match against UAE, showing consistency in form entering the Super 8.

The Super 8 stage presents knockout atmosphere pressure on every delivery pitched. Dewald Brevis has already shown he thrives in these conditions where lesser batters crack under strain.
