[Watch] "Get me on the first ball" - Virat Kohli shares a laugh with MI starlet Dewald Brevis
Virat Kohli caught up with young South African batter Dewald Brevis and extended warm greetings after the conclusion of Royal Challengers Bangalore's (RCB) match against Mumbai Indians on Saturday.
Brevis is popularly known as 'Baby AB' in cricketing circles as his stroke play has some resemblance to that of South African legend AB de Villiers.
The 18-year-old dismissed Virat Kohli off his very first delivery in the IPL during the finishing stages of the match. The wicket had no significant repercussions for the result of the match as RCB were already on the verge of a comfortable victory.
After the game, Kohli met Dewald Brevis in the dugout and had a brief conversation.
Mumbai Indians shared a video on their official Instagram handle to give fans a glimpse of the exchange between the duo. They captioned the video:
"Well done, young man!" 🙌 Virat Kohli was all praises for DB yesterday & Dewald's big smile says it all! 💙 #OneFamily #DilKholKe #MumbaiIndians #RCBvMI @dewald_brevis_17 @virat.kohli"
