IPL 2022: Fans in awe of Dewald Brevis' performance

Dewald Brevis was in outstanding form with the bat as he smacked 49 runs with the bat, with 28 of those runs in one over bowled by Rahul Chahar. After starting Chahar's over by hitting a four of the second ball, he smacked four consecutive sixes to get Mumbai Indians right back in the game while chasing a daunting target of 199 runs. Moreover, one of the sixes was a staggering 112 m long, which is one of the longest maximums smacked in not just this season but the history of the IPL.

A 30-run cameo from Jitesh Sharma towards the end of the innings helped PBKS end on a high as they scored 198 runs for the loss of five wickets in 20 overs.
