Cricket-South Africa's Miller carries red-hot IPL form into India T20 series

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India opener Ishan Kishan says they will have to come up with a plan to tame David Miller in their ongoing Twenty20 series as the explosive South Africa batsman continues the rich vein of form he found in the Indian Premier League.

Miller played a key role in Gujarat Titans' IPL triumph in their maiden season last month when he finished as their third highest run-scorer.

The 33-year-old was in good form in Thursday's opening T20 international in Delhi, where he smashed 64 not out off 31 balls to help South Africa chase down a 212-run target.

The tourists were 86-3 at the halfway stage of their chase but Miller's 131-run partnership with Rassie van der Dussen, who was unbeaten on 75, ensured they prevailed with five deliveries remaining.

Kishan, who topscored for India with 76, said the century-stand made all the difference.

"I think right now Miller is in great form," Kishan told reporters after their seven-wicket defeat.
