Follow UsDewald Brevis has already established himself in CSK’s folklore, with a brilliant acrobatic catch in the deep midwicket boundary against PBKS, on April 30 (Wednesday). The South African batter had earlier pulled off a brilliant, composed catch in the clash, which helped Noor Ahmad dismiss Prabhsimran Singh.
However, the talk of the town was the second catch at Chepauk, when the South African pulled off one of the contenders for catch of the season, with an acrobatic catch of the finest order. The South African made the first contact inside the boundary rope, and then did the unthinkable.
WHAT. A. CATCH 🔥

Brevis then leapt in thin air and juggled the ball back in before jumping back inside to complete the catch. For a team that has suffered massively in the catching department, the 22-year-old’s inclusion has come in like a breath of fresh air.
It even led MS Dhoni to applaud the youngster, calling him ‘fresh air’.
“I think it's momentum in the middle order and he's a very good fielder and he has good power so he can hit good balls for boundaries. He brings energy to the field too. We needed that fresh air, someone not caught up in the spiral. He can be an asset going forward,” Dhoni said in the post-match presentation.
