Dewald Brevis Facts

1. Dewald, at an early stage in his career, drew comparisons with AB de Villiers, who was one of the greatest batsmen South Africa produced and perhaps the most innovative batsman to ever play the game. Like Abby, Dewald’s aggressive strokeplay and ability to push boundaries has earned him the nicknames ‘AB 2.0’ and ‘Baby Abby’.
2. Dewald has also had the opportunity to meet his idol and gain valuable insights and suggestions from him. He considers de Villiers to be his mentor and sports the number ’17’ on his jersey as a tribute to his hero, who donned the same number in his international career.
3. Although primarily a top-order batsman, Dewald started bowling enough spells just before the start of 2022 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup, in a series of bilateral youth ODIs against the West Indies in the West Indies. This effort produced better results than expected, as he took 10 wickets in just 3 matches in that series.

His tally of 506 runs (in 6 games) in 2022 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup A new record was set for the most runs scored in a single edition of the tournament, by just one run, the 505-run mark scored by India’s Shikhar Dhawan in 2004. He also hit 18 sixes in the tournament. , setting another new record, breaking Englishman Jack Burnham’s 2016 record of 15 sixes.

Thus, he holds the tournament record for most 50+ scores in a single edition of the tournament along with Yashasvi Jaiswal of India (6 games in 2020), Sarfaraz Khan of India (6 games in 2016) and Brett Williams of Australia. 9 games in 1988).
6. His knock of 138 against Bangladesh in the 7th place playoff match, South Africa’s final match of the tournament, helped the team successfully chase down a massive target of 294 runs. It was the second highest score to chase in the history of the tournament, just after New Zealand’s overhaul of a target of 305 against Ireland in the 2006 edition of the tournament.
