Cricket duniya mein kabhi-kabhi aise pal aate hain jo hamesha ke liye yaadgar ban jaate hain. South Africa ke young sensation Dewald Brevis ne aisa hi ek historic pal create kiya jab unhone Australia ke khilaf doosre T20I match mein sirf 56 balls mein unbeaten 125 runs bana diye.
Yeh performance sirf ek innings nahi thi—yeh ek statement thi. Brevis ne 12 chaar aur 8 chhakkon ke saath Australian bowling attack ko completely dismantle kar diya. Unki timing, placement, aur power-hitting itni shandaar thi ki dekhte hi lag raha tha jaise har ball boundary ke liye bani ho.
Is innings ke saath hi unhone South Africa ka highest individual T20I score banane ka record apne naam kar liya, saath hi Australia ke khilaf kisi bhi player ka sabse bada score ka record bhi tod diya. Aur sabse khaas baat, yeh innings Australian zameen par kisi bhi visiting player ka sabse bada individual score bhi hai.
Match ke dauran unka strike rate 223 se upar tha, jo batata hai ki yeh knock sirf long innings nahi thi, balki ek ultra-aggressive approach ka example bhi thi. Iske wajah se South Africa ne 218/7 ka mammoth total khada kiya. Australia ne koshish toh ki, lekin unka nine-match winning streak bhi iss dhamake ke saamne tut gaya.
Fans aur experts dono ne Brevis ko “next big thing” ka tag de diya hai. Agar unka aisa hi form bana raha, toh future mein yeh naam cricket ke sabse bade legends ke saath liya jaayega.
