Young South African batsman Dewald Brevis says Sachin Tendulkar has been an inspiration for him from the beginning and he would like to emulate the Indian legend to make a mark in international cricket.
Brevis is called the next AB de Villiers of South Africa and is also known as ‘Baby AB’. This 18-year-old player has been taken by Mumbai Indians in their team for IPL 2022.
Brevis was bought by Mumbai for Rs 3 crore. He recently scored 506 runs in the Under-19 World Cup, breaking Shikhar Dhawan’s record of 505 runs in 2004.
Brevis said- The way he (Tendulkar) played was always an inspiration to me. My favorite of his innings is the double century in ODIs against South Africa. I remember watching that match with my brother. That was an amazing innings.
He said- I read his autobiography ‘Playing it my way’. One thing I learned from him is that you have to be humble because pride can take you to the bottom.
