It wasn’t the first time such an instance had taken place by the franchise in this competition. Earlier, Sanju Samson played the game with the kids when he was in Kerala, while coaches and a few young players of the franchise, including Gurjapneet Singh and Kartik Sharma, played these cricket games.

In the recent video, Brevis was seen to be playing a one-handed no-look shot, which he has been famous for in his short yet successful cricketing career. The Protea star, who missed the start of the event with an injury, has smashed just 64 runs in four innings of the campaign.
