After Dewald Brevis's fantastic innings in the CSA T20 clash between the Titans and the Knights in Potchefstroom on Monday, social media went into overdrive as the 19-year-old announced himself to the cricketing world.
Brevis smashed a 35-ball ton, ending on 162 off 56 balls, which included 13 fours and 13 sixes.
The Titans opener, often called "Baby AB," received the seal of approval from the former Proteas skipper himself, who took to Twitter simply saying, "Dewald Brevis. No need to say anymore."
Here's De Villiers' tweet as well as many others lauding the innings:
Dewald Brevis. No need to say more

Dewald Brevis said "I always watch the videos of AB Devilliers, his bat swing and I remember that while going to bat".
