He further acknowledged the significance of the moment for Varma and his family, recognizing the hard work and sacrifices that had led to this milestone. “It’s such a great moment for you and your family. I can just imagine how happy your parents and everyone else must be. It’s great to see you out there, living your dream,” Brevis remarked.

The South African cricketer also praised Varma’s spectacular sixes hit on the second and third balls of his innings, expressing his awe and admiration for the feat. “Those shots on the second and third balls gave me goosebumps. You always have my support, and I wish you all the best for the rest of the series. I’m backing you fully, and go win every game for Team India. Cheers, brother!” he exclaimed.

Varma, visibly moved by the thoughtful message, expressed his gratitude in return. He revealed that he was expecting messages from his coach and family, but the surprise from his MI teammate caught him off guard and touched his heart deeply. “I was thinking about whether it could be my coach or my family, but it was Dewald Brevis, my brother. Thank you so much, my brother. I always loved you. I really appreciate your message. See you soon, and thank you so much,” said Varma.
