From going unsold in the first round of the mega-auction to getting picked by Gujarat Titans and then turning them into serial winners, the South African batter has scripted a remarkable story for ages.
On Tuesday night, David Miller once again donned his finisher’s hat and took the debutants Gujarat Titans to the IPL final in their very first season. The left-handed southpaw blasted his way to unbeaten 68 runs off 38 deliveries, including five maximums to take his side over the line.
