A blazingly acrobatic grab from Kamindu Mendis brought the end of Dewald Brevis on his debut for the Men in Yellow in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League between Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad on Friday, April 25. The 21-year-old Brevis had to walk back to the pavilion due to Kamindu’s effort in the deep.
Brevis smashed the half-volley outside off-stump towards the left of Kamindu at long-off. Kamindu sprinted his way to the left before diving full-stretch towards his left to snap up the ball in what was a truly splendid effort of fielding brilliance. Pat Cummins rushed towards a smiling Kamindu to be amongst the first to celebrate with him. On the other hand, Brevis was stunned at what had occurred.

Brevis’ 42-run knock came off 25 deliveries. The batting all-rounder’s enterprising innings comprised one four and four sixes. It was a really impressive performance from him. Earlier in the evening, Brevis was one of the two changes that CSK made. Brevis and Deepak Hooda were announced to come in for Rachin Ravindra and Vijay Shankar.
Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to field first. Travis Head was named in the list for Impact Substitutes list for SRH. Both sides came into this contest being placed ninth (SRH) and tenth (CSK), respectively. Both sides would be desperate to win the ongoing encounter to still dream of getting to the playoffs. At the end of 20 overs, CSK ended up with 154 on the board.
