’Baby AB’ Dewald Brevis show’s he’s the real deal as he powers Titans to top of the log

Cape Town — South Africa’s U-19 starlet Dewald Brevis made his first meaningful contribution to the senior professional ranks on Monday when he powered the Titans to the top of the CSA T20 Challenge.

Brevis, playing only his second game for the Titans but already a holder of an R6 Million IPL contract with the Mumbai Indians controlled the run chase with an undefeated 46 off just 30 balls against a Proteas-laden Dolphins team.

After a nervy debut opening the innings last Saturday, Brevis seemed much more assured coming to the crease in his regular No 3 position. It certainly helped that Quinton de Kock (24) and Titans captain Theunis de Bruyn (26) had laid the platform with a 53-run opening stand, especially with the Dolphins only managing to post 134/4 in their rain-reduced 19 overs.
