AB De Villiers is a once-in-a-generation player. Post his retirement from international cricket, South Africa is still searching and trying to get a perfect replacement for a player like him, and so far, they haven't found one. 

However, roughly 7707 miles away from the South African shores, there is someone who admires AB De Villiers. He admires him so much that even his gameplay has started looking like his idol. He is from South Africa and representing his country in the U19 World Cup in West Indies - Dewald Brewis. 

With the advice of his 'mentor', de Villiers, Brevis is now considered as the next ABD - not only in his circle or the media but also in the South African dressing room. They call him Baby AB. 

The huge AB De Villiers fan showcased his talent to the world when he smashed 65 runs against India in the opening match of South Africa in the road to glory tournament.

He hit six fours and two sixes during his knock in which he also struck an almost perfect reverse sweep for the boundary and smashed a huge six to bring up his fifty. As soon as he reached his fifty, his teammates in the dressing room called him 'Baby AB' on board to celebrate his milestone.

Although Dewald Brevis couldn't help his team win, but surely South Africa have finally found their next AB De Villiers.
