David Miller called his IPL 2022 journey ‘phenomenal’ after winning maiden IPL title

Gujarat Titans star batter David Miller described his IPL 2022 journey as “phenomenal” after winning the first trophy on Sunday at the Narendra Modi stadium.

“It’s been a phenomenal journey, finishing it at the back end was a special feeling, but it has been a collective effort, everyone has stuck up their hand and performed well,” said Miller in the post-match press conference.

This season, the South African performed exceptionally well, scoring 481 runs in 16 innings at an average of 68.71 and a strike rate of 142.73, which was his best-ever performance in the IPL.

Miller talked about his friendship with captain Hardik Pandya and coach Ashish Nehra, saying Hardik is a tactical genius.

“He’s been very relaxed, we’ve had a very good bond with Ashish and Hardik. He’s got better and better as the competition went on, tactically he’s been brilliant. Just grown from strength to strength,” added Miller.

Rajasthan had to put forth a great effort with the ball to come back into the game. After establishing a low-scoring target of 131. Trent Boult and Prasidh Krishna bowled brilliantly in the powerplay, reducing Gujarat to 31 for two. And also returning Wriddhiman Saha (5) and Matthew Wade (8) to the pavilion.

Gujarat romped home in the last over thanks to Shubman Gill’s risk-free collection of runs and David Miller’s quickfire 32. Gujarat’s triumph sealed with a six by opener Gill, who stayed undefeated on 45.
