Brevis is a generational talent. His style of playing is to attack the opposition team from the very first ball. He may not be able to perform consistently but he is good enough to win matches from anywhere. He should be allowed to bat the way he is batting now. This is undoubtedly one of the best innings… pic.twitter.com/BnE1QsCOq7
