Brevis’ love for Royal Challengers Bangalore dates long back. He can be seen sporting the RCB jersey in a picture that has gone viral on the Internet. His primary target is to guide South Africa to U-19 World Cup. The 18-year-old is key for the Proteas with scores of 65 vs India, 104 vs Uganda, 96 vs Ireland & 97 vs England.

There is an uncanny similarity between AB de Villiers and Dewald Brevis. Not that the two starred in U19 World Cup but their style of play. The South African U-19 allrounder Brevis has added the 360-degree shots to his arsenal that ABD mastered at a later stage of his career. The exciting youngster is on the radar of many IPL franchises and could be a big hit in the upcoming auction.
Meanwhile, AB de Villiers has retired from IPL which means RCB can try Brevis in the upcoming IPL cycle. The franchise has retained Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell and Mohammad Siraj ahead of IPL 2022 mega auction.
