Coming in to bat at No. 6, CSK's Brevis lit up the innings with a blistering knock of 51 runs off just 41 balls. His aggressive intent was evident right from the start, as he struck three boundaries and cleared the ropes thrice. He reached his maiden Test fifty in just 38 deliveries, surpassing all previous records for the fastest fifty on debut in Test history.
Brevis achieved the feat in the first innings itself, a remarkable distinction considering that only two other debutants have ever scored fifties in fewer than 38 balls-but in their second innings.
đTim Southee of New Zealand had reached his fifty in just 29 balls against England in 2008,
đ England's Jacob Bethell did it in 37 balls against the Kiwis in 2024. However, both came in the second innings,
making Brevis' milestone in the first innings a unique record.
