South African young batter, Dewald Brevis came at number three and counter-attacked. He played some outstanding shots in his short cameo. Brevis hit 6 fours and 1 six en-route to his 13-ball 31 at a strike rate of 238.46. The 18-year old cricket was playing well but, unfortunately, lost his wicket at a crucial stage in the game.

According to reports, it has been revealed that Dewald Brevis has got posters of the likes of Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar at his home. The South African cricketer recently revealed that he draws inspiration from the likes of AB de Villiers, Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli among others.

Speaking on the MI show at Star Sports, Dewald Brevis stated, I think a lot of people know AB de Villiers, and I look up to him since I was a youngster and love the way he played and how he goes about his game. Then also Sachin Tendulkar always idolised him because of the way he plays and the way he lives about his motos and how he goes about the things in life. I also like Virat Kohli and as a bowler Shane Warne, I look up to him because I'm also a leg spinner so that's why."

Coming back to the game, Mumbai are currently 120 for 3 after 14 overs against Lucknow. Rohit Sharma and Co. need 80 runs in the final 6 overs to register their first win of the season.
