Sourav Ganguly may face pressure in his first SA20 coaching stint, but legendary Allan Donald believes his "fantastic cricket brain" will help him navigate the tough moments.

Allan Donald hailed Dewald Brevis as South Africa's next big batting star, praising his fearless strokeplay and record-breaking hundred against Australia while noting similarities with AB de Villiers. With over 2,500 T20 runs, IPL success, and a record SA20 price, Brevis is seen as a potential limited-overs superstar.

The SA20 fourth season auction saw Dewald Brevis become the most expensive player ever. Intense bidding wars highlighted the event, reshaping team squads ahead of the tournament.

Dewald Brevis became the costliest player in SA20 history, fetching R16.5 million from Pretoria Capitals after a fierce bidding war. Aiden Markram, a two-time SA20 champion, was acquired by Durban’s Super Giants for R14 million. Veteran Imran Tahir joined Joburg Super Kings, while notable players like Andile Phehlukwayo and Mustafizur Rahman went unsold.

Sourav Ganguly will take on the role of head coach of Pretoria Capitals in the upcoming SA20 season. Speaking to the media on Friday, League Commissioner Graeme Smith welcomed Dada to South Africa and explained why no Indian players are part of this year's auction.

Sourav Ganguly, the former Indian captain, has been appointed as the head coach of the Pretoria Capitals, an SA20 franchise, for the 2026 season. This marks Ganguly's inaugural coaching role with a cricket team. The Centurion-based team confirmed the appointment following Jonathan Trott's departure, hoping Ganguly's leadership will bring a turnaround in their performance.
