South Africa youngster Dewald Brewis made his debut for Mumbai in the ongoing game against Kolkata. Brewis made his name during the U19 World Cup in the West Indies earlier this year. During that tournament, his stroke play was compared with former South Africa skipper AB de Villiers. Notably, the youngster idolizes ABD.

Talking about the performance of Brewis, also known as 'BABY AB', the right-hander was the highest run-getter in the Colts World Cup. He scored 506 runs in six games, averaging 84.33 including three fifties and two hundred. However, his side lost to England in the quarterfinal. He was also shortlisted for the 2022 player auction, held in February this year. He was bought by Mumbai after battling with Chennai, Punjab, and Lucknow.

Meanwhile, in the ongoing game against Kolkata, the Johannesburg-born player has made his debut in the Indian T20 League. He was included in the playing XI in place of Tim David, who hasn't fired in the tournament so far. The 18-year-old came into bat after his skipper Rohit Sharma (3) got out on a short-pitched delivery against Umesh Yadav.

The youngster hit a no-look shot against Varun Chakravarthy, who had just come into bowl his first over of the game. Before this, he had hit three fours and a six in his innings. On the first ball of Chakravarthy's over, which was also the eighth over of the innings, the pocket rocket hit a no-look six over the deep midwicket boundary. However, the bowler got his revenge on the fifth ball of the over, where the batter was stumped out. Meanwhile, Twitter was in awe of Brevis' no look shot.
