David Miller Facts

1. David’s father, a former cricketer, always used to impress upon his son the importance of playing multiple sports to stay fit and David used to play cricket, tennis, hockey, and squash in his school days.
2. He was bought at the 2013 IPL Auctions by Kings XI Punjab for the heavy sum of INR 6 crores and represented them till the 2019 season, playing a key part in the team reaching the final of the 2014 season.
3. During an IPL game in the 2015 season, a ball hit by him for a six had struck a security official causing him to lose sight in one of his eyes.
4. In South Africa’s semi-final match against England in the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy, David resurrected his team’s floundering innings with a fighting score of 51 not out and shared a 95-run partnership with Rory Kleinveldt for the 9th wicket, which was the then-record for the highest partnership for the 9th wicket in the tournament’s history.
5. During a group stage match against Zimbabwe in the 2015 ICC World Cup, he shared an unbeaten partnership of 256 runs for the 5th wicket with JP Duminy, which was not just a World Cup record but also an ODI record at that time for the 5th wicket.

During the same series, he scored his maiden hundred in the T20I format which came in just 35 balls and was the fastest hundred scored in a T20I match at that time and the first by a batsman batting at the number 5 position or lower. During that innings, he also became only the 5th South African to reach the milestone of 1,000 T20I runs.
7. Although he played 63 first-class (domestic 4-day) games in his career, he quit the format in September 2018 as he decided that after a decade-long international career for South Africa, he no longer held the desire to represent his country in a Test Match, a format he never got to play at the international level.
