How Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma are damaging India | T20 World Cup
Although Brevis did not have an impressive run during South Africa’s limited-overs tour of India last year – scoring just 69 runs at an average of 17 – he never got to Chakravartha in four T20Is.Ever since he burst onto the scene with his performances at the 2022 Under-19 World Cup, where he finished as the tournament’s top scorer (506 runs from six matches), Brevis has had to live with the nickname ‘Baby AB’ as he is often compared to Proteas great AB de Villiers. It’s a brand he enjoys. “It’s always been a great privilege to be compared to AB. But it’s never been a pressure for me. It’s always been an honor,” Brevis said.

Who do you think will win the Super 8 between India and South Africa?
Against India, Brevis will hope to gain experience from playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians. The South African team’s special consultant, Albie Morkel, has hailed the 22-year-old as the team’s ‘X-factor’ ahead of the much-anticipated Super 8 clash.After scores of 6, 23 and 21 in the first three matches of the T20 World Cup, Brevis showed his potential against the UAE on Wednesday with a short entertaining innings of 36 off 25 balls, studded with three magnificent sixes. While he got his side seven runs short of the target, Brevis was undeterred.“It’s just about being yourself and enjoying the game and usually the best things happen afterwards. Being consistent in that performance is not always guaranteed. We all go through ups and downs. It’s just about being positive and supporting your style of play,” he said.
