19-year-old Dewald Brevis created numerous records with his scintillating knock during a T20 matღch between 🦋Titans and Knights in Potchefstroom on Monday. The right-handed batter smashed 162 runs off just 57 balls with the help of 13 fours and 13 sixes.
Brevis, who is popularly called ‘Baby AB’ because of his uncanny resemblance to South Africa legend AB de Villiers, was applauded by the man himself.
Dewald Brevis. No need to say more
