19-year-old Dewald Brevis created numerous records with his scintillating knock during a T20 match between Titans and Knights in Potchefstroom on Monday. The right-handed batter smashed 162 runs off just 57 balls with the help of 13 fours and 13 sixes.
Brevis, who is popularly called ‘Baby AB’ because of his uncanny resemblance to South Africa legend AB de Villiers, was applauded by the man himself.
Dewald Brevis. No need to say more

Brevis raced to his maiden hundred in T20 cricket off just 35 balls, only five short of the world record held by Chris Gayle. He guided Titans to the fourth-highest total in T20 history – 271/3.
Watching a masterclass from Dewald Brevis. Bowlers will be under serious pressure for the next 15+ years.
