Miller produced one of the best knocks of his IPL career while playing against Royal Challengers Bangalore during the 2014 edition. In a match between Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) and RCB at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, the visitors started on a good note as they managed to add 60 runs to the scoreboard in 5.5 overs.
The same was followed by RCB making a comeback in the match as they took back-to-back wickets to deny Punjab a massive total on the board. That is when Miller stepped up and produced an eye-pleasing knock of 66 runs off 29 deliveries. The quick-fire knock included eight boundaries and three maximums at a whopping strike rate of 227.59.
The exploits by the South African star resulted in Punjab posting a massive total of 198 runs on the board in their 20 overs. Batting in the second innings, Bangalore succumbed to a torrid outing as the pacer Sandeep Sharma ran through RCB’s top-order to pick the crucial wickets of Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, and Parthiv Patel.
AB de Villiers tried his best to save the match for RCB as he played a knock of 53 runs off 26 balls. However, Punjab took timely wickets to increase the pressure of the run-rate on the Kohli-led side. RCB could never emerge from the initial setback provided by Sandeep Sharma in the second innings and they lost the match by 32 runs.
