AB de Villiers, serving as a mentor to Dewald Brevis, shared that he sent a text to the young talent, urging him to maintain a positive mindset and focus on one ball at a time.

“I texted him last night, I said ‘ You’re close! Keep your head up. Keep going one ball at a time.’ He replied with ‘I will do that. Thank you very much’ with a heart emoji.”

AB de Villiers expressed his belief that Dewald Brevis seems a bit rushed in his approach. De Villiers acknowledged that the young batter might be feeling the weight on his shoulders, especially due to the comparisons with him as “Baby AB.” He emphasized that labeling Brevis in this way has added significant pressure on the emerging cricketer. He said:

“He (Brevis) is in a bit of a hurry. He is a young man and it’s understandable. He has a lot of weight in his shoulders, largely because of me. I am so sorry about that. All these people who put so much attention on him adds to the pressure. He knows how fickle the game of cricket is. It is about millimeters.”
