MI Cape Town skipper Rashid Khan faced backlash from fans for promoting himself in the batting order ahead of young South African batter Dewald Brevis. The incident occurred during the SA20 match against Durban Super Giants at Kingsmead, Durban.

After MI Cape Town’s top order crumbled under pressure, Rashid Khan chose to come in to bat instead of sending Brevis, raising eyebrows among fans. Despite Brevis’s struggles in the tournament so far—scoring just 101 runs in five matches at a strike rate of 174 and an average of 20—many believe the youngster should have been given an opportunity to regain his confidence.

Fans are now questioning Rashid Khan’s decision to bat ahead of Brevis and whether it cost MI Cape Town valuable momentum in a crucial match. Let’s take a look at some of the reactions:
