Quotes Mindset, friendship and collective spirit - it certainly was an enriching experience for DB in his first season of the Tata IPL and we cannot wait to see how he puts that to use in the coming years! It was very special to meet Rohit, Ishan and the whole team when I finished quarantine. Of course, my debut was a special memory, playing in front of so many people The louder it gets, the higher the pressure gets and I love that. The pressure to perform for MI is good because it motivates you to get another trophy for the team, I have idolised him and the small technical details he taught me were special. It was great to learn from legends like him and coach Mahela The set-up at MI is amazing because there are so many people to support you. I trusted them to make the right decisions for me, everyone just wanted me to play my game, i.e be fearless and embrace the moment. The mental side was an important part of my learning there It was a special experience: Dewald Brevis opens up on first season with MI, July 2022,MumbaiIndians, by MI I found my path back to who I am and to just be true to myself and the way I play, There's a lot you can learn, but it's just to be myself, to be true to how I play. Sometimes if you fade a bit away from that, you see how it goes. And then when you actually focus on being yourself and true to yourself, it's amazing what happens then, how you actually enjoy the game and how much fun you have and how well you actually do. AB has always been my role model and still is. He still helps me a lot and I still look up to him and the way he played but it's never ever put any pressure on me, I've never felt any pressure being compared to him. It's always been a privilege and an honour for me because he's my hero. I've always just seen it like that. But I always knew it's my journey. I'm Dewald. I'm not someone else. I'll have my own path and my own things that I'll achieve and create and be my own person. It's never been any pressure for me. It's only been a privilege. The fans are crazy. They love their cricket. I love how it is when you play out there and see all the fans and how loud it gets We're an amazing group with strong players. We've seen what happened a few months ago with the World Test Championship final. There's nothing more to say. We'll do it on the field, I'm super excited and blessed to be in this position. It's always been a dream and can't wait for what lies ahead. I've always believed and knew that it's going to happen. I've always said, I'm never going to study. I'm going to go straight into cricket. I've always said it with words. I always envisioned it and told people, this is what's going to happen and I believed it. I was ready for that,I've got faith and I trust that I'm on the right path and my journey is at a great place. That takes so much pressure off. My religion and Jesus is very important to me so I spend a lot of time with the Word (the Bible), in the mornings, and at nights, But before games, I don't have anything specific. I just take the day on and stay in the moment Be yourself, hit the ball, have fun' - Dewald Brevis is learning to play like he's 19 again,Feb 2026, ESPN by Firdose Moonda External links Category:2003 births Category:Cricketers from South Africa Category:Living people
