High-Value Batsmen in South Africa's SA20 Auction 2026 Secure Remarkable Bids, Approaching Million-Dollar Mark
In a major move for the fourth edition of the SA20, the Pretoria Capitals have signed Dewald Brevis for a staggering R16.5 million, making him the most expensive player in the league's history.
The record-breaking deal surpasses the previous high of R9.2 million set by Tristan Stubbs, and even surpasses Aiden Markram's earlier signing of R14 million.
Brevis, a young and dynamic batter, has been among the most in-demand players in global T20 leagues. His impressive performances have caught the eye of many teams, with the Pretoria Capitals securing his services in the auction.
The acquisition of Brevis comes as a boost for the Capitals, with head coach Sourav Ganguly expressing positive sentiments about the signing. Ganguly believes Brevis is a "game changer" in T20 cricket.
Brevis' impressive form is not new. In the 2022 Under-19 World Cup, he was the highest run-scorer, amassing 506 runs in six games at an average of 84.33 and a strike rate of 90.19. He also scored two centuries and had 11 fifties.
In the 2025 season, Brevis was instrumental in MI Cape Town's maiden title triumph, scoring 291 runs. He also showed his versatility in six games for Chennai Super Kings, scoring 225 runs at a strike rate of 180.
The Pretoria Capitals roster now includes star players like Andre Russell and Sherfane Rutherford, in addition to Brevis. The final of the fourth edition of the SA20 is scheduled for January 25, 2026.
