Former South Africa Legendary batter AB de Villiers has picked young sensation Dewald Brevis as the most exciting player to watch out for in the inaugural edition of the SA20 league, which is scheduled to begin on January 10 at Cape Town.
The 19-year-old Dewald Brevis was adjudged as the Player of the Tournament at the U19 World Cup 2022. After his impressive show in U19 World Cup, the Mumbai Indians franchise bought him ahead of the 15th edition of the IPL, where he played seven matches, scoring 161 runs at a strike rate of 142.48.
“I think there’s a lot of young players that have come through in the last few years and I think of the very first up in my list Dewald Brevis. I’m looking forward to watch him play and few other youngsters that have performed really well,” de Villiers was quoted by India Today.
