Need to be myself. I have been the kid who has always enjoyed the moment while playing out there. I kept telling my mind, 'it's cool, not warm (conditions)'. I needed to play an innings like that, very grateful for it. I need to keep playing, that's what everyone has said. AB is someone I look up to; he has helped to improve my game, but I want to be my own player. It's an honour to be compared to AB de Villiers,\u201d said Brevis.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Brevis was signed as a replacement for Gurjapneet Singh towards the end of the tournament and has played only six games this season, but he still managed to score 225 runs at a strike rate of 180.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>While Brevis handled matters with the bat, it was Noor Ahmad who reclaimed the Purple Cap with three wickets on the day, taking his season tally to 24 wickets and cleaning up GT\u2019s middle and lower order.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Afghan bowler said cricket is about ups and downs, but CSK will come back stronger next season, after finishing dead last in this edition.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>While Brevis handled matters with the bat, it was Noor Ahmad who reclaimed the Purple Cap with three wickets on the day, taking his season tally to 24 wickets and cleaning up GT\u2019s middle and lower order.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">LIVE Cricket Score<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n",
