Dewald Brevis has become a topic of discussion in the India vs South Africa Super-8 match. He swung the bat in such a way that the ball fell 82 meters away beyond the boundary line. This no-look shot was also special because he achieved this feat against the world number-1 bowler, i.e. Varun Chakraborty. Batting first in the Super-8 match, South Africa scored 187 runs.
This incident is of the 9th over of the South African innings. Varun Chakraborty came to bowl the second over of his spell. 11 runs had come on the first 4 balls of the over. On the fifth ball, Devald Brevis swung the bat towards the front and did not even see whether the ball would cross the boundary or not. Varun Chakraborty had lost 17 runs in this over. But what is this no-look shot?
What is no look shot?
No look shot shows the confidence of the batsman. When the batsman hits the middle of the ball and makes a powerful shot and after making the shot, he keeps his head down. Devald Brewis also did the same, the ball fell from his bat with the speed of a bullet and crossed the blue and straight boundary line. After making the shot, Brewis kept his head down because he knew that the ball was going for a six.

Who started it?
The names of many batsmen are associated with the no-look shot. West Indies’ Andre Fletcher is often seen hitting no-look shots in international and league cricket. But the video of MS Dhoni also keeps appearing again and again when he hit a no-look shot in the match against New Zealand in 2009. Apart from Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan, Pakistan’s Sam Ayub is also making the no look shot popular in the world.
