Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Cricket, as a career, wasn't always a straightforward choice for de Bruyn though. As a B.Com Accounting student at the University of Pretoria, he had two options: pursue cricket, or become a Chartered Accountant. Only one of those options offered security, but it wasn't the one that de Bruyn chose.
De Bruyn's potential was there to be seen from a young age. He was named player of the tournament at the national under-17 week, and two years later he was part of the South African Under-19 team that reached the World Cup semi-finals. However. just when things were looking up, a hip injury stalled his momentum and knocked him out of action for nine months. But when talent is deserving, there's not much that can keep it down for too long. Playing against a Protea-laden Titans side in a couple of pre-season warm-ups, he performed so well that coach Rob Walter stuck him straight into his team for the season opener.
He had a breakthrough debut season with the Titans in 2014/15, emerging as their top run-scorer in the triumphant one-day campaign. During this time, de Bruyn also made an impact in an unofficial Test for South Africa A against England A by scoring a double hundred against an attack which included the like of Mark Wood, Liam Plunkett and Boyd Rankin.
In his second season, de Bruyn became the third fastest South African batsman to score 1000 first class runs. However, his campaign was hampered by a badly-timed injury, after which he struggled to recover his place in the Titans side. The silver lining was a loan to the Knights, who were so impressed by his presence that they asked him to return the following season as captain. De Bruyn accepted and this season, at the age of 24, he led an unfancied and unfashionable team to their first trophy in nine years, becoming the second youngest captain after Hashim Amla to win the title in the franchise era.
Sure enough, the international call-up wasn't far away. De Bruyn was handed his first South Africa cap in a T20I against Sri Lanka in 2017. A couple of months later, he also made his Test debut, opening the batting against New Zealand at Hamilton.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
A hard-hitting right-hander, who is also handy as a seam bowler, Theunis de Bruyn has emerged as one of South Africa's most promising cricketers in the post-Graeme Smith era.
De Bruyn came to prominence as a schoolboy, when he was named under-17 player of the tournament in 2010, where his 269 for Northerns against Free State was one of the highlights. He played for South Africa's Under-19 side at the 2012 age-group World Cup, alongside Quinton de Kock, and finished as the team's third highest run-scorer.
A hip operation paused his progress in the two years that followed but his potential was not forgotten and he made his T20 debut for the Titans franchise before he had played any provincial cricket. He also played for his university side - Tuks - and led it to the Campus Cricket World Finals, a competition in which he was also named player of the series.
De Bruyn made his first-class franchise debut after just four matches for his provincial side and established himself as one of the Titans' most reliable players in all formats. In the 2014/15 season, he led their run charts in the triumphant one-day cup campaign. The following season, he was the second highest run-scorer for the Titans in the 20-over competition and third highest run-scorer in the first-class competition with 602 runs at 37.62. His consistency earned him a call up to the South Africa A side. He moved from the Titans to the Knights for the 2016/17 season and was named their captain.
De Bruyn also had an unenviable task in 2018 when after much excitement about Virat Kohli's anticipated involvement with Surrey for a short county stint, Kohli pulled out, leaving de Bruyn (who had five Tests at that time with a top score of 48) to replace the most famous cricketer in the world.
