Indian Premier League: Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar backed David Miller’s decision to refuse a single in the dying moments of Delhi Capitals’ dramatic one-run defeat, stating that the South African’s confidence to finish the game himself could not be criticised.

The high-octane clash between DC and Gujarat Titans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday went down to the final delivery, with Miller’s split-second call on the penultimate ball becoming the defining moment of the contest.

With two runs needed off the last two deliveries, Miller pushed the ball into the deep but opted against taking a single that would have handed a strike to Kuldeep Yadav. The choice ultimately proved decisive as the final ball resulted in a run-out, sealing a narrow win for Gujarat.
