19-year-old South African player Dewald Brevis, who played for Mumbai Indians in IPL, is in the news. Dewald Brevis, fondly known as ‘Baby AB’, nicknamed ‘Baby AB’ of the great AB de Villiers, took a stunning catch at the boundary line to dismiss Ferisco Adams in the CSA T20 Challenge match between Boland Rocks and Titans.
Batsman Timed The Ball Well
Rocks captain Ferrisco Adams played a front-foot pull shot against a short pitch ball from right-arm pacer Junior Dala. The batsman timed it very well. It seemed natural for the ball to cross the boundary line in such a situation. Now from here came the twist in the story and the charisma of Dewald Brevis.
Dewald Brevis Becomes Superman
Dewald Brevis leaps to his right from the deep mid-wicket boundary and takes a brilliant catch from the dive. The ball was travelling at a very high speed, so some superman was needed to catch it, and he became Superman, Devald Brevis. The way this 19-year-old dived made the catch brilliant.

Decision Made By The Duckworth-Lewis Rule
Roux scored 121 runs for the loss of 8 wickets while batting. Farhan Behardian remained unbeaten on 63, while Clyde Fortuyn scored 29 runs. Dala took 3 wickets for 20 runs in his four-over spell. The game was called off when the Titans were at 103/7 in 17 overs due to a floodlight failure. Roux’s team won the match based on the Duckworth-Lewis rule.
