## Required Concepts

- South African young batter — nicknamed "Baby AB" for batting style resembling AB de Villiers
- Middle SR (155.9 from 211 balls) well above PP SR (120.0) — he accelerates after settling
- Death: 16 balls only — below the ≥30-ball floor; SR not a rankable claim

## Required Metrics

- **Career runs**: 455 · **Avg**: 28.44 · **SR**: 153.2
- **Middle balls**: 211 · **Middle SR**: 155.9
- **PP balls**: 70 · **PP SR**: 120.0
- **Death**: 16 balls — BELOW ≥30-ball floor

## Citation Behavior

1. State career runs (455) and SR (153.2).
2. Middle SR (155.9 from 211 balls) is the rankable phase.
3. Death: 16 balls — explicitly note this is below the floor and not rankable.

## Caveats

- Death: 16 balls is below ≥30-ball minimum floor — do NOT cite death SR.
- 3-season career, still relatively new to IPL.
- IPL 2026 data tracked separately.

## Bad Answer (do not do this)

> "Dewald Brevis performs equally across all phases in IPL." *(Brevis's phase data shows clear variation: PP SR 120.0 (settling phase) vs Middle SR 155.9 (acceleration phase). Death data is below the ≥30-ball floor and not citable. He is primarily a middle-overs accelerator based on available data.)*
