South Africa middle-order batsman David Miller is also known as the “Killer Miller”, who has played two T20 World Cups already and believes his nation is favorite for the upcoming T20 World Cup, which is scheduled to be played in October. During a special Eid live with Cricfrenzy on Friday, Miller also admits in T20 cricket any team can do anything on a particular day to upset the big teams.
Miller made his international debut in 2010 as a confident 20-year-old with a reputation as a big-hitter and a rhyme to match. "If it's the v, it's in the tree; if it's in the arc, it's out the park," he said, repeating a phrase his father had taught him. He is a few matches away from becoming the country's most-capped (81 matches JP Duminy) T20I player.
31 years old hard-hitter batsman, who played 78 matches and scored 1484 runs with a record-breaking Ton against Bangladesh back in 2017 off just 35 balls, played franchise tournament all over the world and gained so much experience during playing those extravaganzas. So he believes It’s very difficult to answer who is favorite in T20 games.
“It's just difficult one to answer. T20, as we all know, it’s a match up on a day. I look at all the games that I've played and tournaments have been a part of the T20 cricket. If you as a team, rock up underdogs and you happen to perform on that day and you mentally upgrade and physically upgrade a lot of teams, there's always a lot of upset in T20 crickets, so things happen very quickly. So you've sort of got to be on the Mark, you know, there's no time to sort of think about redefine things. You've got to really play brave cricket” said Miller.
During the live session, he was asked who is the favorite for the upcoming World Cup, which putted him a difficult position to answer, but he wants to have faith in South Africa.
“It's difficult to say, you know, with T20 cricket, but India obviously playing, they've got some incredible players either to New Zealand, Australia, England too. I mean, I can’t say who would be the favorite. But I'd like to say South Africa.”
