Is Dewald Brevis son of ABD?
Dewald Brevis is not at all related to AB de Villiers. He is called Baby AB because of the similarity in their gameplay and shot-making. In an interview earlier this year, Dewald said that he is not even close to AB de Villiers.
“To be called Baby AB…I don’t even know what to say,” Brevis said.
“I am nowhere near what AB de Villiers was. He is a guy I grew up idolising, he was my role model from the first time I watched cricket. But I love being called that, it’s a real honour and surreal.”
