“The support from MI makes my veins pump blue,” Brevis confessed in a Cricbuzz interview. “The embrace from the MI family, the opportunities they’ve offered me since the under-19 World Cup – it’s something I can’t repay. My commitment to them is unwavering. The bond is truly special.”

Let’s rewind to 2022. During the under-19 World Cup, a young batter, mirroring the skills of AB de Villiers, becomes the talk of the town. At just 17, his audacious reverse scoops, deep slogs, and all-around gameplay make him a hot prospect. Soon after, at the IPL auction, he sparks an intense bidding war.

Chennai Super Kings (CKS) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) are in fierce competition. From a humble base price of 20 lakhs INR, the bidding soars to 1.6cr INR. That’s when Mumbai Indians enter the fray. Punjab withdraws, but CSK stands firm. Until the price hits a hefty 3cr INR, making him the highest-paid under-19 player.

And so, Dewald Brevis becomes a celebrated member of our MI family. His debut season is nothing short of spectacular, with one highlight being a memorable onslaught against Rahul Chahar, where he smashed four consecutive sixes. His form continued during a stint at MI Cape Town, culminating in a mesmerizing knock of 162 runs off just 55 balls in South Africa’s domestic T20 league.

However, as the IPL 2023 season unfolded, a set playing XI meant Brevis spent most of the time on the bench. Yet, true to his resilient spirit, Brevis used this period constructively, honing his skills under the guidance of Head Coach, Mark Boucher. “I had to focus on evolving my game and outthinking the opposition, learning new tricks to keep them guessing,” he said.

Robin Peterson, General Manager at MI Cape Town and Head Coach at MI New York, noted a significant development in Brevis’ approach. “Brevis has moved beyond just relying on his raw talent and instinct,” said Peterson. “He is now engaging in mental conditioning, comprehending the nuances of the opposition and playing conditions. He is maturing remarkably well.”
