Dewald Brevis Aka ‘Baby AB’ Breaks Shikhar Dhawan's Record Ahead Of The IPL 2022 Mega Auction

Young South Africa batsman Dewald Brevis, nicknamed ‘Baby AB’ for his similarities in batting technique with legendary AB de Villiers, broke the massive record of opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan in the Under-19 World Cup 2022 ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 mega auction.

The 18-year-old now holds the record for scoring the most runs in a single edition of the marquee U19 World Cup. Brevis went past Shikhar Dhawan’s tally of 505 runs, which he scored in 2004.
