Dewald Brevis Creates History With Fastest T20I Century By A South African. Dewald Brevis showcased his extraordinary power-hitting at the Marrara Cricket Ground in the second T20 International against Australia, setting multiple records in a single innings.
Brevis smashed 125 runs from 56 balls in his first T20I hundred. It made him the youngest South African to score a T20I hundred. This innings also set a new South African record for the highest individual score in T20I history. He surpassed AB de Villiers and David Miller.
Brevis played the innings with great control and aggression, with nine fours and eight sixes. He was dominant against the Australian bowlers from the outset. He scored his hundred quite quickly to become the first South African to score a T20I hundred on Australian soil. Dewald reached his milestone incredibly quickly, making it now the fastest T20I century scored in Australia. It is now the second-fastest T20I hundred scored by a South African. He was behind David Miller’s 35 balls against Bangladesh in 2017.
