Mini AB de Villiers Dewald Brevis father name: The 18-year-old Proteas batter lived up to his potential with a fine knock versus PBKS.

During the 23rd match of the ongoing 15th season of the Indian Premier League between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the MCA Stadium in Pune, MI’s 18-year-old batter Dewald Brevis, courtesy of some scintillating strokeplay during the second innings hogged the limelight during his team’s stiff chase.

Coming in at no.3 after MI skipper Rohit Sharma (28 off 17) failed to convert his fine start yet again, Brevis struggled to get going having gotten off-the-mark only on the ninth delivery of his innings.

However, cometh the commencement of the 8th Over, and with only 63/2 posted on the scoreboard, the young Proteas sensation smashed PBKS leg-spinner Rahul Chahar for as many as 29 runs in the Over, with the help of four gigantic sixes following a Four down the ground off the second delivery of the Over.

With him bringing his team right back into the contest in what is almost a much win match for the MI, Brevis unfortunately got Out on 49 (25) during the 11th Over, falling just a run short of becoming the youngest Overseas batter to score a half-century in the IPL.
