Proteas star Dave Miller holds back tears after big blunder (video)

The clash between Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans ended in bizarre fashion on Wednesday. The match took place at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

David Miller suffered heartbreaking disappointment at the end. He had almost secured victory for his team.

Earlier, Miller powered DC back into contention. He guided the chase of a massive 211-run target. Only two runs were needed from the final two balls.

Costly Decision in the Final Over

However, Miller made a bold but risky choice. He declined a simple single on the second-last ball.

Instead, he trusted himself to hit the winning runs. A single would have secured a tie and forced a Super Over.

The decision quickly backfired. Prasidh Krishna bowled a perfect slower delivery. Miller completely missed the ball.

Next, both batters attempted a desperate bye. Jos Buttler hit the stumps with a direct throw. Kuldeep Yadav was run out at the non-striker’s end.

As a result, DC lost the match by just one run.

The “blunder” became even more glaring afterward. Kuldeep had already crossed halfway for the previous single.

That run would have levelled the scores. It would have guaranteed at least one point.

After the match, Miller struggled to hide his emotions. He has often faced painful defeats in key matches.

Meanwhile, Sunil Gavaskar defended Miller’s intent. He highlighted Miller’s confidence after scoring 23 runs earlier.

However, social media and analysts strongly criticised the decision. Many viewed it as a costly mistake.

Ultimately, the finish devastated Miller. He battled a hand injury during the innings. He even smashed a 106m six earlier.

Yet, one moment of indecision overshadowed his heroic effort.
