Delhi Capitals chased down 211 with three wickets in hand at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium on Monday, registering the highest successful IPL chase in the stadium's history.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Miller played a pivotal role in the victory with a crucial 51-run knock after DC were left reeling at 14\/2 and later 38\/3 in the massive chase. Captain Axar Patel led the recovery with a blazing 56, while debutant Madhav Tiwari\u2019s fearless 18 off eight balls helped seal the contest late in the innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Speaking after the match, Miller said the motivation to finish games strongly comes from personal standards regardless of the opposition. \u201cI think it goes beyond that. It\u2019s more just personal pride and in wanting to close out games, whichever team I play for,\" Miller said in a video released by IPL on X. \u201cYeah, obviously a good feeling to do it against them. Obviously disappointed to get out when I did, but I think Axar played so, so well.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The South African batter admitted Delhi had struggled for consistency this season and said the victory was important for restoring momentum. \u201cAnd we\u2019ve obviously struggled to get a couple of wins here and there. And it\u2019s nice to get another win on the belt and play for some pride and get back on winning ways. So yeah, it\u2019s a good win,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI think that\u2019s what, I suppose, experience comes in, you know, when you\u2019re sort of a tough moment, you always look back on past experiences that you\u2019ve achieved and accomplished. So it gives you confidence in that situation. And obviously I\u2019ve played quite a lot, so I had a couple of good knocks every now and again, and it was nice to fall back on that,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
