Looking forward to watch Dewald Brevis play in the SA20, says AB de Villiers

He
also
has
picked
youngster
Dewald
Brevis
as
the
most
exciting
player
to
look
forward
to
in
the
upcoming
tournament.

SA20
will
be
the
inception
of
a
new
chapter
in
South
African
cricket
and
it
will
quite
surely
make
a
positive
impact
on
the
cricketing
evolution
in
the
country.

“I
think
the
SA20
comes
at
a
really
good
time
for
the
South
African
cricket.
And
we
have
seen
the
amazing
things
that
these
leagues
have
done
to
the
cricket
and
in
the
particular
nations
to
give
our
youngsters
the
base
and
the
foundation
to
get
exposure
at
the
highest
level
against
the
best
players
in
the
world
is
what’s
it
all
about,”
De
Villiers
said
to

JioCinema
as
he
makes
his
debut
as
a
commentator
in
the
league.

De
Villiers
picked
fellow
South
African
sensation
Dewald
Brevis
as
the
most
exciting
player
to
watch
out
for
at
the
tournament.

“I
think
there’s
a
lot
of
young
players
that
have
come
through
in
the
last
few
years
and
I
think
of
the
very
first
up
in
my
list
Dewald
Brevis.
I’m
looking
forward
to
watch
him
play
and
few
other
youngsters
that
have
performed
really
well,” he
added.

The
19-year-old
is
affectionately
known
as
‘Baby
AB’ and
has
smashed
records
at
the
2022
ICC
Under-19
Cricket
World
Cup
by
scoring
506
runs
in
six
matches,
earning
Player
of
the
Tournament.

Dewald,
who
plays
for
Mumbai
Indians
in
the
IPL,
made
history
by
scoring
162
runs
in
one
game
in
the
CSA
T20
Challenge,
which
is
the
highest
T20
score
ever
made
by
a
South
African
batsman,
and
also
tied
for
the
third-highest
T20
score
ever.
That
knock
saw
Brevis
score
150
runs
in
just
51
balls,
the
fastest
150
in
history.
He
is
going
to
represent
MI
Cape
Town
in
the
SA20
this
season.

The
SA20
starts
on
January
10
with
Rashid
Khan-led
MI
Cape
Town
will
meet
Paarl
Royals,
headed
by
David
Miller.
