    What's the story

    South Africa crashed out of ICC Under-19 World Cup 2022 after losing the Super League quarter-final to England.

    However, their top-order batter Dewald Brevis grabbed eyeballs for his scintillating knocks throughout the tournament.

    Brevis, also known as 'Baby AB', has been bought by Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2022 Auction for Rs. 3 crore.

    Here, we decode his journey so far.

    Story

    The story of 'Baby AB'

    Brevis is regarded as 'Baby AB' due to his endearing batting stance and exquisite timing, similar to that of de Villiers.

    Moreover, the former has been a fan of de Villiers.

    In an interview with the International Cricket Council (ICC), Brevis stated that he loves watching him bat as well.

    Notably, the youngster sports jersey number 17 (de Villiers').
