South African under-19 batting sensation Dewald Brevis hints to his fans about some fireworks in the upcoming SA20 league. In his country’s domestic franchise T20 league playing with the big players. Let us look at Dewald Brevis in SA20 2023 in detail.

Why he is “Baby AB”?

Due to his resemblance to South African and Indian Premier League legend AB de Villiers, his rise to fame grew even faster with the nickname “Baby AB” gaining the name too fast.  In a very short space of time captured the attention of cricket followers globally with his record-breaking feats.

He surpassed India’s Shikhar Dhawan‘s all-time record for the most runs at the tournament with a total of 506. After gaining the numbers Brevis become a much-sought-after signature for T20 franchise teams.

The youngster has thus far lived up to his billing and recently returned home to rubberstamp his immense potential with a record-breaking 162 off just 57 balls, which included 13 sixes and 13 fours, for the Titans in Cricket SA’S T20 Challenge.

MI Cape Town followers waiting for the showdown of Brevis at Newlands in the upcoming SA20. But nobody is more excited than the teenager himself for the tournament’s opening game. Playing against the Paarl Royals on January 10, 2023.

“It is a dream come true. It has always been my dream to represent Mumbai Indians, and now MI Cape Town, and to be able to play on the big stage because the crowds are massive, and I really enjoy it,” Brevis said. 

Despite cricket’s entire stratosphere being virtually his oyster, Brevis remains humble and values the prospect of being able to tap into the intellectual capacity of senior internationals such as Rassie van der Dussen, Liam Livingstone, Kagiso Rabada, Jofra Archer, and Rashid Khan.

“It is absolutely amazing!” Brevis said. “Who better to pick their brains, and get advice from? I cannot wait to share a dressing room and a field with them,” he added.
