Virat Kohli jokes with Baby AB Dewald Brevis
Getting Virat Kohli’s wicket is a dream of many bowlers out there, and if you can get him on the first ball, it’s a cherry on the cake. Dewald Brevis did the same in the IPL 2022 game between Royal Challengers Bangalore. However, it was a close LBW call.
Virat Kohli reviewed the decision, but there was no clear evidence to change the decision and that’s why it was given out again. On replays, it looked like the ball touched bat and pad at the very same time.
Mumbai Indians released a video where Virat Kohli was meeting Dewald Brevis after the game. He was looking in a good mood and Jasprit Bumrah was also standing next to them.
“Young Man, good one eh! Good First meeting,” Kohli said.
“Get me on the first ball, how’s it? Good, Enjoying it?”, Kohli asked.
Dewald Brevis is called Baby AB because of his batting style. Brevis finished as the highest run-scorer in the U-19 World Cup with 506 runs at 84.33, whereas the 2nd highest run-scorer finished with 380 runs. Apart from batting, Brevis also took seven wickets with his leg break bowling.
Mumbai Indians have lost their opening four games of the tournament, and they will Punjab Kings in their next league game at the MCA Stadium in Pune.
