South African international David Miller, who is part of Southern Brave in The Hundred 2026, has scored 166 runs in eight matches and although his franchise could not advance to the knockouts the southpaw has proved his worth with the willow.
Speaking to JioStar, Miller reflected on the knocks he is most proud of, his favourite moment in the TATA IPL, and his excitement about being part of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027 on home soil.
Reflecting on his longevity in the game and mastering the art of finishing innings, Miller said: “Probably the fact that I’ve made a career by batting in the middle order and finishing games, that would be something I’m most proud of. It’s something that takes a long time to kind of conquer and master. I’m still learning all the time, but at least I’ve had a long career in that department, and I’ve really enjoyed going about chasing innings, especially.”

On the knocks he has been most proud of, the southpaw said: “I think the 101 that I scored against RCB, the fact that it was a chase, chasing down a score and scoring a hundred, my first hundred in the IPL, my first T20 hundred, was a knock that felt the most rewarding. I think there was a lot at stake there, and it kind of set my career up if I look back at it now. Then there was another knock that I’ll always remember as well, the one in Durban against Australia. We chased down a score there as well and I scored a hundred, 118 not out or something. So, those two knocks under pressure, scoring hundreds, they’ll always kind of stand out.”
On his favourite moment in the TATA IPL, the South African said: “My favourite moment in the IPL… there have been many, but we obviously play to win, so definitely winning the IPL for Gujarat Titans would be that.”
On the goal of winning the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup trophy, he said: “Yeah, I am really looking forward to it. For me, it’s a goal that I want to achieve. I would love to finish off late in my career with a trophy. So, for me, it’s a goal that I would love to be a part of that World Cup team. It’s something that is never guaranteed, and I’ll definitely, from now until then, be focused on aiming to make that team and to contribute the best I can. Obviously, it will be very special, being at home in front of our fans, and in a place that I’ve played for so many years. So, it would be fantastic to be a part of that team.”
