IPL 2026: SRH vs DC | Miller has shown character after heartbreak against GT: Badani

In two games spread across 10 days in this IPL, David Miller’s output as a finisher has generated markedly contrasting outcomes. If he was chastised for his failure to lead Delhi Capitals to victory against Gujarat Titans on April 8, he was celebrated for his boundary-laden exploits against Royal Challengers Bengaluru last Saturday.

DC’s one-run defeat to GT polarised opinion, especially because Miller had a chance to secure a tie off the penultimate ball. With two runs needed off two deliveries, the southpaw refused an easy single on offer in an attempt to get the job done off his own bat. The decision stung as he failed to make contact off the final ball. It is a testament to the 36-year-old’s vast experience that he was able to brush the disappointment aside when confronted with a nervy chase against RCB.
