Young South Africa batter Dewald Brevis registered the joint third-highest individual score in T20 cricket during the CSA T20 Challenge in Potchefstroom.
Brevis scored 162 off just 57, which is also the joint third-highest individual score in T20s with Chris Gayle's 175* leading the list.
He led his side to put up 271 for 3 in their 20 overs and in the end went on to win by 41 runs. After the match, Brevis said that he learned few shots after watching Instagram videos of AB de Villiers.
"From young, and still now, I watch lots of videos on Instagram about AB and all these guys, how they hit the ball," said Brevis.
"I like AB's natural bat swing and back in your head, you get a visual of how the ball goes, how the bat falls and everything. So I try to watch as most as much as possible, and to just also be myself,"
A part-time leg-spinner, with 12 wickets in his 32-game career so far, Brevis also revealed that he was inspired to bowl after watching Shane Warne.
"That's how I started bowling leg-spin, I watched Shane Warne bowl. It's something that comes naturally I would say, and it's just loving the game, I really love the game and I love to watch videos of players," he added.
