The 33-year-old was one of the crucial players for Gujarat Titans, who were instrumental in their successful IPL 2022 campaign. The Proteas hitter David Miller, according to former South African all-rounder and current coach of Paarl Royals in the SA20 T20 League, JP Duminy, believes that his best is still to come in both domestic cricket and on the international stage. Miller is the Paarl Royals’ captain for the inaugural SA20 season.
The 33-year-old was one of the crucial players for Gujarat Titans, who were instrumental in their successful IPL 2022 campaign. Miller scored 481 runs in 16 games last season, averaging 68.71 and hitting at a 142.73 strike rate.
He was also impressive for the Proteas, hitting 289 runs in 12 ODIs with an average of 57.80 and a strike rate of 111.15 in the year 2022, in addition to 361 runs in 16 T20Is at an average of 57.80 and a strike rate of 164.84.
“Simply put, in my opinion, he has become more mature. According to the discussions we had, David Miller needs to emerge as a leader, according to what Duminy stated at a SA20 press conference, as quoted by Sportskeeda.
“In the past 12 months, I believe we have caught glimpses of him genuinely accepting responsibility for trying circumstances and realising that he is actually capable of winning matches on his own. He is one of the top finishers in the world as a result, in my opinion. He is muscular and fit for his age of 33 to 34. For David Miller, the best is yet to come “The Royals’ head coach continued.
In response to a question regarding whether it was the proper move to include young players like Dewald Brevis and Evan Jones in the South African national squad, Duminy said, “There cannot be a one-size-fits-all strategy where everyone is fired. That is not how it operates. It’s crucial to have a group of senior guys on hand to assist with the process. because experience cannot be purchased.
“The senior guys who will help them gain such experiences must first help the young guys acquire their bearings. There is definitely no shortage of quality in South African cricket, so I am very enthused about the players you highlighted. It simply requires nurturing, “Duminy went on to say.
