Proteas Batter Brevis Smashes Massive Six, Clears Cairns Stadium
16 Aug
Summary
- Dewald Brevis hits powerful six that clears Cairns stadium
- Ball lands on road outside stadium and is retrieved
- Brevis scores 53 off 26 balls, reaching half-century in 22 deliveries
On August 16, 2025, South African and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) star batter Dewald Brevis made headlines with a powerful six that cleared the Cazaly's Stadium in Cairns, Australia. The incident occurred during the sixth over of the third T20I between South Africa and Australia, when left-arm seamer Ben Dwarshuis delivered a short ball that Brevis pulled over the backward square boundary.
The ball landed on the roof before leaving the stadium entirely, eventually coming to rest on the road outside. This remarkable display of power from the 22-year-old, affectionately known as 'Baby AB,' continued his impressive form from the previous match, where he had smashed an unbeaten 125 off just 56 deliveries.
Brevis, who was signed by CSK as an injury replacement for Gurjapneet Singh midway through the 2025 IPL season, has been making waves with his explosive batting. In the Cairns match, he scored 53 off 26 balls, reaching his half-century in just 22 deliveries. Despite the early dismissal of Aiden Markram, Lhuan-dre Pretorius, and Ryan Rickelton, Brevis' heroics helped the Proteas post a competitive total.
