JUST IN: Pretoria Capitals Sign Dewald Brevis for Record-Breaking R16. 5 Million at SA20 Auction

Pretoria Capitals outbid franchises including Super Kings to secure 22-year-old Dewald Brevis, who impressed with a 225-run IPL performance, for a record R16.5 million at SA20 auction.

  • On Tuesday, at the SA20 auction in Johannesburg, Dewald Brevis was sold to the Pretoria Capitals for R16.5 million, setting a new record as the most expensive player in SA20 history.
  • Sourav Ganguly, who attended the auction in person, led Pretoria Capitals in a fierce bidding battle with Joburg Super Kings to secure Dewald Brevis.
  • His recent SA20 form, including 291 runs, boosted Brevis's value after impressive spells for MI Cape Town and as a Chennai Super Kings replacement in IPL 2025.
  • Brevis's fee immediately topped Aiden Markram's R14 million sale, eclipsing the previous R9.2 million record and resetting SA20 price benchmarks.
  • The Johannesburg auction underlined SA20's rapid growth, with multiple franchises breaking records and Capitals' aggressive spending signaling rising player valuations and tougher future auctions.
