Miller Turns GT Ghost into RCB Clutch Fuel
Miller admits GT failure haunted him but Stubbs partnership unlocked two sixes to seal thriller.
David Miller faced the last over. Romario Shepherd ran in. Chinnaswamy hushed.
Miller had bombed against GT days back. Needed one off the final ball. Failed. Pressure stuck. "It's always at the back of the mind," he said later. That lingered through DC's chase of 176 against RCB.
Tristan Stubbs held firm—60 not out off 47 balls. Their partnership built calm. Miller cleared his head. He smacked 6, 6, 4. Six wickets won it. One ball left.
Past IPL failures stack up for Miller. GT loss stayed fresh. Mental switch—he focused breath by breath. RCB made 175 for 8. Axar Patel took 2 for 18. Bhuvneshwar Kumar leaked three wickets.
Resilience shows in that swing cleared. Stubbs nodded credit. Miller walked off. Next chase waits.
