It was great to hit that six off Gayle: Miller– Cricket News Update
Kings Xi Punjab’s South African import http://www.senore.com/Cricket/David-Lawson-Miller-c53037, who smashed a scintillating 101 not out off just 38 balls against Royal Challengers Bangalore here in Mohali to help his side comfortably chase down a formidable 191-run target, said that looting Chris
Gayle for a lofty six was the best part of his pugnacious knock.
Chasing a challenging target of 191, the hosts needed three runs to win, while Miller was 5 runs short of a blistering ton. The South African middle order batsman smashed http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CH-Gayle-c1221 for a muscular six, over the sight screen, throwing the ball out of the
park to not only take Kings XI home but also complete his first hundred of the season.
"Gayle is by far the biggest hitter ever and a great batsman as well. He is good to watch. We have got another game in Bangalore and that should be interesting. It was really enjoyable for me. It was a great feeling to hit that six," stated http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Miller-c76318 while
speaking to media reporters after Kings XI http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Punjab-c833 won the match by six wickets.
The 23-year-old Natal left-hander also shared that the West Indian batting stalwart also paid him a compliment by stating that the southpaw reminded him of his younger days.
Asked about his innings, Miller said that nothing much was really going through his mind when he had come in to bat after Gurkeerat Singh’s dismissal in the 8th over. The time the South African came to the crease to partner skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJ-Hussey-c1380,
the hosts still needed 12 runs an over.
“...it allowed me the freedom to do what I did, which is just clear the ropes and not have too much pressure. So, it was really enjoyable," added the left-hander.
Just two overs latter, David Hussey was sacked by Murali http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kommu-Karthik-c71642, but Miller did not come under pressure and took the responsibility of scoring runs. He shared a 130-run match-winning stand with Sathish, with the latter scoring just 27 runs.
The Natal-born middle order batsman further said that getting more opportunities has given him more confidence to showcase his natural batting skills. He was also confident about Kings XI Punjab’s chances of making it to the tournament play offs. David Hussey
and Co will next play http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rajasthan-c837 Royals in Mohali on Thursday.
