In a breathtaking display of athleticism, Dewald Brevis pulled off a gravity-defying catch at the boundary to send Tom Abell back to the pavilion in the SA20 2025.
Dewald Brevis stuns with an incredible mid-air catch to dismiss Tom Abell
On the last ball of fourth over, Corbin Bosch delivered a back-of-a-length ball outside off, prompting Abell to attempt a cross-batted pull shot. Though struck with intent, the ball lacked the necessary elevation and power to clear the deep backward square boundary.
Initially misjudging the trajectory, Brevis charged in before realizing the ball was carrying further than anticipated. Reacting instantly, he leaped backward with remarkable agility, extending his hands to pluck the ball just before it crossed the rope. His impeccable body control ensured he remained inside the boundary, securing a spectacular dismissal. Rashid Khan‘s strategic field placement played a crucial role, with Brevis stationed precisely where needed.
Abell’s short stay at the crease ended with just a single run off two deliveries, leaving Eastern Cape struggling at 20/2. Bosch celebrated his first wicket of the match, but it was Brevis’ moment of magic that stole the spotlight, leaving the crowd in awe of his athletic brilliance.
