In a high-stakes clash between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Dewald Brevis delivered a moment of sheer brilliance that brought the Chepauk crowd to its feet. While his exploits with the bat earlier in the innings were already impressive, it was his extraordinary athleticism in the field that truly stole the show.
During the 18th over of Punjab’s chase, Shashank Singh attempted to muscle a Ravindra Jadeja delivery over the deep mid-wicket boundary. The shot had elevation and power, but Brevis, stationed precisely at the rope, had other plans. Demonstrating incredible presence of mind and spatial awareness, Brevis timed his leap to perfection.

As the ball sailed toward him, Brevis took the catch just inside the boundary. Realising his momentum would carry him over, he quickly lobbed the ball up in the air mid-jump. While airborne and crossing the rope, he flicked the ball back into play before landing outside the field. With barely a moment to spare, he rushed back inside and completed the catch with ease — a jaw-dropping effort that combined skill, awareness, and athleticism.
WHAT. A. CATCH 🔥
