IPL 2022: ‘AB De Villiers is back in IPL’ says Commentators & experts, SUPER-IMPRESSED with BABY AB Dewald Brevis DEBUT for MI
For those who missed out on the U-19 World Cup live telecast, the KKR vs MI match was the perfect example of what “Baby AB” was all about. Audacious, skilful, brilliant, cheeky, super-confident, what a talent! — IPL commentators threw in one adjective after the other even though Dewald Brevis lasted just 19 balls, scoring 29 on his debut for Mumbai Indians.

His short stay for 29 off 19 was convincing enough as the uncanny similarities began to creep in, in the pull shots, cover drives — almost a split image of what South African batting legend AB de Villiers was. One of the most sought after cricketer decided to hang his boots ahead of IPL 2022, handing the reins to his “successor” Dewald Brevis, who shot to fame top-scoring in the U-19 World Cup.

On Wednesday, Brevis came to the crease at a time when Mumbai Indians lost Rohit Sharma. But Baby AB never looked under pressure. After a single, he took on Rasikh Dar for a 4 over the mid-on. Next, he took on Umesh Yadav, who is brimming in confidence, for a four over the mid-on. Then came Pat Cummins and Brevis tried to pull him but it took a top-edge and went for a 6 — just like how AB de Villiers sent those 6s even on mistimes.

Brevis no-look six – Then came the spin challenge that too against Varun Chakaravarthy, against whom many established batters had struggled but Baby AB just bent his head down and deposited that for a 6 over deep mid-wicket.
But his stay wasn’t for long as Sam Billings pulled off a brilliant stumping off Chakaravarthy delivery to dismiss him. However, the short stay was assuring for MI after Rohit Sharma gave him a chance in place of Tim David.
While Dewald Brevis has been a big fan of ABD, the shots came naturally to him. The South African legend has been mentoring him ever since he visited Brevis’ school. Brevis in a recent interview said that he never tried to imitate ABD’s shots but it came naturally to him. The 18-year-old is now aiming to cement his place in the MI Playing XI.
