There are innings, and then there's what Dewald Brevis unleashed in Darwin on August 12, 2025 — a knock so explosive, it rewrote multiple record books in just 20 overs.
The Explosive Innings
In the second T20I against Australia, Brevis—just 22 years and 105 days old—blasted an unbeaten 125 off only 56 balls. That’s not just a big score; it shattered South Africa’s previous T20I best of 119 (set by Faf du Plessis in 2015).
Youngest South African T20I Centurion
Brevis wasn't just big in runs—he was young, too. At 22 years and 105 days, he became the youngest South African ever to score a T20I hundred, breaking the previous mark held by Richard Levi.
One of the Fastest Tons for South Africa
His ton came off just 41 balls—making it the second-fastest T20I century for South Africa, trailing only David Miller’s 35-ball blitz.
Fastest Century Against Australia in T20Is
Since his ton was so rapid, it also went down as the fastest T20I century scored against Australia, topping prior benchmarks.
Highest T20I Score on Australian Soil
By reaching 125*, Brevis also claimed the record for the highest individual T20I score in Australia, surpassing Shane Watson’s 124* created back in 2016.
Highest T20I Individual Score Against Australia
His innings wasn’t just record-setting for location—it was against the opponent. Brevis now holds the record for the highest individual T20I score ever made against Australia, edging out Ruturaj Gaikwad’s 123*.
Best Team Performance Fueled by Him
Not one to hog the spotlight, Brevis's knock powered South Africa to their highest-ever T20I total against Australia—218 for 7—which also ended Australia’s nine‑match winning streak in the format.
Final Word
In a single explosive innings, Brevis stacked at least six major records—Youngest SA T20I centurion, second-fastest ton for SA, fastest century vs Australia, highest T20I score for SA, highest on Australian soil, and highest against Australia overall. Not bad for just his ninth T20I! It was less a match, more his personal highlight reel.
At 22 and already drenched in record-breaking flair, Brevis truly cemented his status as the “Baby AB”—and left fans, opponents, and teammates alike wondering when he'd top himself next.
