This game was a contest between 2 left-handed batsmen. But, in the end one of them had to bowl right-handed, and finished up on the losing side after being smashed for 22 runs in his 1st over. The bowlers name was Christopher Henry Gayle.
The batsman’s name was David Miller. For a man who is just 23, this left-handed batsman from South Africa knows a thing or two about handling force. Imagine walking in at 51/3, with the opponent on the field sitting pretty on a total of 190/3. Kings XI Punjab troubles increased as they lost David Hussey; most young batsmen would have given up hope by now.
With 123 runs needed from 60 balls, Miller got to work with Rajagopal Satish for partnership. Miller ensured that anything that was full was on time smashed for a six. Anything short was pulled away to midwicket for 4th. Good deliveries were respected, but not wasted. The ones and 2 were added to the total. highly, the strike was almost always with Miller.
