Mumbai Indians’ teenage star Dewald Brevis has posters of Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli in his bedroom

The
talented
right-handed
batsman
spoke
about
the
cricketers
he
draws
inspiration
from
and
wishes
to
take
his
game
to
the
next
level.
The
18-year-old
Protea
cricketer
garnered
attention
following
his
performances
in
the
ICC
U19
Cricket
World
Cup
2022
in
West
Indies
where
he
finished
as
the
leading
run-scorer.
He
was
dubbed
‘Baby
AB’ for
the
wide
range
of
shots
he
played
just
like
legendary
South
African
star
AB
de
Villiers,
who
mentored
him
since
his
early
days.

Speaking
on
the
MI
show
on
Star
Sports,
Dewald
Brevis
said,
“I
think
a
lot
of
people
know
AB
de
Villiers,
and
I
look
up
to
him
since
I
was
a
youngster
and
love
the
way
he
played
and
how
he
goes
about
his
game.
Then
also
Sachin
Tendulkar
always
idolised
him
because
of
the
way
he
plays
and
the
way
he
lives
about
his
motos
and
how
he
goes
about
the
things
in
life.
I
also
like
Virat
Kohli
and
as
a
bowler
Shane
Warne,
I
look
up
to
him
because
I’m
also
a
leg
spinner
so
that’s
why.”

The
MI
batter,
who
scored
an
impressive
49
off
25
balls
in
the
previous
game
against
Punjab
Kings,
also
revealed
that
he
has
posters
of
Tendulkar,
Kohli
and
Warne
in
his
bedroom.

The
youngster
also
claimed
that
he
wishes
to
spend
time
with
every
single
player
in
the
MI
dressing
room
and
learn
from
them.

On
speaking
about
this
year’s
IPL,
Dewald
Brevis
said,
“I’m
so
excited,
for
me
I
really
look
forward
to
spending
time
with
every
single
player
in
the
team,
learning
from
them
and
when
I
get
the
opportunity,
use
it
mostly
just
to
learn,
play
the
game
and
to
enjoy
it
and
keep
it
simple.”
