More than a decade ago, AB de Villiers left the cricketing world spellbound with his genius. Now, a new South African sensation, Dewald Brevis, affectionately known as Baby AB, carries that same spark. As India and South Africa are all set to face off in the first Test, Brevis has been named in the squad.

As Dewald Brevis gears up for his first Test in India, his bond with Indian players is already well known from the IPL. Ahead of stepping into the series, Brevis revealed that an Indian cricketer is on his speed dial list.

International matches may spark rivalries on the field, but the IPL changed that story. It turned competitors into friends and created bonds that felt like family. In the same way, a heartwarming friendship between Tilak Varma and Dewald Brevis brewed in the Mumbai Indias camp and has now turned into camaraderie.

Even though Dewald Brevis made his way into the Chennai Super Kings, the friendship remained. As India is set to face South Africa in the first Test of the two-match Test series at the Eden Gardens, Dewald Brevis is set to play his first Test on Indian soil.

Ahead of stepping into the match, he was engaged in a funny, rapid-fire. Speaking to Star Sports, Brevis was asked, “One cricketer you have on your speed dial?” Without wasting a moment, Brevis answered, “Tilak”. That heartwarming bond between two youngsters grabbed attention.

Dewald Brevis remains the ultimate fan of AB de Villiers

The whole world admires AB de Villiers, but an admirer like Dewald Brevis is rare. In multiple interactions, the Protea youngster talked about this. In the recent rapid-fire session, he was asked, “Your T20 G.O.A.T?” Brevis answered it as "AB de Villiers."

Across the formats, AB de Villiers has showcased his excellence, and the shortest format of the game has witnessed some of the destructive innings from him. In 79 T20Is, he scored 1672 runs. As the T20I stats looked modest, but IPL knew what wads ABD’s T20 destruction as the batters shattered the recordbook with some of the outstanding knocks.
