5 Top Batters to look out for in SA20 2023:

1. Dewald Brevis (Mumbai Indians Cape Town):

Dewald Brevis

He is one of South Africa’s most promising young talents. Following his outstanding performances at the Under 19 World Cup, he played in various leagues around the world. Dewald Brevis shone in both the Caribbean Premier League and the Indian Premier League.

Brewis’ fans refer to him as Junior ABD because of his batting stance and hitting ability. The Mumbai Indians recognised his talent and signed him for their IPL campaign. It’s not surprising that they’ve kept Brewis for their South Africa T20 franchise as well. Brewis is a player to keep an eye on in the South Africa T20 League 2023.

2. Jos Buttler (Paarl Royals):

Jos Buttler

Buttler is well-known in the cricketing world. He is regarded as one of the best white ball players of his generation. He was instrumental in England’s campaign for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022.

Buttler is in the best shape of his life, having scored 225 runs in the World Cup at an average of 45.00 and a strike rate of 144.23. He has also done well in the captaincy role that he was given prior to the World Cup.

Buttler is a world-class performer, and it would not surprise me if he was the overall leading run scorer in the inaugural SA T20.

3. Aiden Markram (Sunrisers Eastern Cape):

Aiden Markram

Aiden Markram is currently ranked fifth among batters in the ICC Men’s T20 rankings. In this format, he has been very consistent for South Africa.

Markram has a variety of shots that he can use against both fast bowlers and spinners. His home record attests to his ability on South African pitches.

When the team is in trouble, Markram can not only provide impetus to the innings, but he can also bring stability. He’s one of the batters to keep an eye on in the upcoming tournament.

4. Harry Brook (Joburg Super Kings):

Harry Brook

Harry Brook is in the best shape of his life. Based on his recent performances, he has established himself as an essential member of England’s T20 squad.

Brook is in Pakistan right now for the Test Series. He has already scored two centuries in the series and is unstoppable in any format of the game.

He is proficient on both the front and back foot. In T20 cricket, Harry Brook has a strike rate of 148.38. He has also scored a century in the format, and he is likely to be the top run scorer for the Joburg Super Kings in the upcoming competition.

5. Will Jacks (Pretoria Capitals):
