Mumbai ∙ South African cricket legend AB. De Villiers is the star’s successor ‘to secure a seat on the international stage after retiring from all formats of cricket, including the IPL. South Africa’s new batting wave, nicknamed ‘Baby AB’, has made its IPL debut for the Mumbai Indians and has made its way onto the international platform.
In his debut match, Brevis’ innings was only 19 balls long. He scored 29 runs, including two sixes and four fours.
But against Emperor Varun, Brevis won the toss and elected to field. Breivis greeted the Emperor with a ‘No Look Six’ as he came to bowl the 8th over of the Mumbai innings. The ball flew 81 meters above the midwicket!
No Look Six is one of the hardest shots to play in any format. This is one of AB de Villiers’ most important shot collections in the arsenal.
In the Brisbane Test against Australia last year, Indian all-rounder Washington Sunder scored a no-six against Nathan Lyon.
In the third over, the 19 – year – old Breivis came in at number three with Rohit Sharma out for just six runs on the Mumbai scoreboard. The Emperor returned Brevis after a six, but that single six was enough to captivate the fans. Many fans wrote on Twitter that Brevis would rule the IPL in the coming years.
Brevis won the Player of the Tournament award at this year’s Under-19 World Cup. He scored 506 runs, including 2 centuries and 3 centuries. Mumbai Brewis has invested Rs 3 crore in the mega star auction.
Brevis was nicknamed Baby AB because he is reminiscent of De Villiers in shot selection. De Villiers is also the star man’s idol!
