Dewald Brevis produced a moment of athletic fielding during an Indian Premier League match where Punjab Kings defeated Chennai Super Kings. Brevis secured a challenging catch near the boundary rope off a shot hit by Shashank Singh, a play that drew wide attention despite his team's loss.
The catch occurred in the latter stages of the game as Chennai Super Kings batted. Shashank Singh attempted to hit the ball over the deep midwicket boundary.
Brevis, fielding near the rope, leaped and caught the ball but realized his momentum was carrying him over the boundary line.
Showing body control, he lobbed the ball into the air not once but twice while outside the field of play before returning to complete the catch cleanly.
The play occurred during the 18th over of Chennai's innings. The shot came from Ravindra Jadeja bowling to Shashank Singh.
Chennai Super Kings finished their innings with 190 runs, primarily driven by Sam Curran's score of 88.
Punjab Kings successfully chased the target with two balls remaining. Shreyas Iyer scored 72 for Punjab. Yuzvendra Chahal took a hat-trick during Chennai's innings.
The Punjab Kings victory eliminated Chennai Super Kings from playoff contention in the IPL season. Information on playoff scenarios for other teams like RCB IPL 2025 remains relevant for the tournament outcome.
Despite the outcome for his team, Brevis's catch stood out as a highlight of the match.
