Dewald Brevis: The team’s head coach reacted
Let us tell you that after adding Dewald Brevis to the team for the upcoming SA20 season, the team’s new coach and former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly said, as quoted by India Today – We are very happy, I think he is a very good player. Obviously, 16.5 million dollars is a different way of looking at it, but in terms of the quality of our pitch, our ground, Pretoria, I hope he will perform well.
We have not thought yet (about making him captain in the future). He is a tremendous talent, his game has really improved a lot in the last one and a half years, as you saw recently against Australia in Australia.
Let us tell you that when MI Cape Town won its first SA20 title in 2025, Dewald Brevis played an important role in making the team champion. Brevis scored a total of 291 runs in the entire season at an average of 48.5 and a strike rate of 184.18.
