In his short career, Dewald Brevis has already managed to impress the pundits and experts. He first caught everyone's attention in the recently concluded U-19 World Cup. Because of similarities in his playing style with AB de Villiers, he came to be known as 'Baby AB' or 'AB 2.0'. Post that, Mumbai purchased him for the Indian T20 League 2022. They paid an amusing price of three crores for him at the mega auction.
According to a report by InsideSport, Brevis could be under the radar of the selectors for the South Africa senior team's tour to India. The Proteas are all set to tour India for a five-match T20 series. This bilateral series will be crucial in the build-up to the 20-20 World Cup, which will be held in Australia later this year. Brevis has also been mentioned as a possible candidate for the 20-20 World Cup.
