Dewald Brevis pulled off a sensational one-handed stunner to dismiss Ruturaj Gaikwad, leaving fans in awe. The moment became even bigger as Virat Kohli’s animated reaction instantly went viral, lighting up social media during the high-intensity clash.
The opening ODI between India and South Africa showcased not just a record-setting display from Rohit Sharma but also a fielding moment that quickly went viral. Young South African prodigy Dewald Brevis executed a stunning one-handed catch to dismiss Indian batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad, prompting a priceless reaction from non-striker Virat Kohli.
This key moment unfolded during the 27th over of India’s innings. Ruturaj Gaikwad, aiming to up the tempo after a cautious start, drove a fast delivery from Nandre Burger towards the cover area. What appeared to be a certain boundary was dramatically intercepted by Brevis, positioned at short extra cover. The ball sped towards him, but the 22-year-old leaped full-stretch to his right, snatching the ball with his outstretched right hand.
What a catch by Dewald Brevis !

The remarkable athleticism and stickiness of the catch left Gaikwad in shock as he made his way back to the pavilion with a score of 8.
Yet, the true highlight was the reaction from the other end. Virat Kohli, who was batting superbly and nearing a century, was seen with his mouth wide open, momentarily rendered speechless. He shook his head and offered a wry, admiring smile, briefly raising his bat in a gesture of respect for the extraordinary fielding display. This spontaneous and heartfelt reaction from one of cricket’s greats quickly became a hot topic on social media, perfectly encapsulating the brilliance of Brevis’s catch.
The catch not only gave South Africa a vital breakthrough but also solidified Dewald Brevis’s status as a future star capable of producing match-winning moments across all aspects of the game.
