"Felt Extremely Backed": David Miller Reveals Secret Behind His Success For Gujarat Titans

After helping Gujarat Titans to seal a spot in the final of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Tuesday, star batter David Miller said continued backing from the team has played a big role in improving his game in this season. Miller was the chief creator of GT's brilliant seven-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals. The South African played a ballistic knock of 68 from 38 balls and along with captain Hardik Pandya's 40 off 27 balls, guided IPL debutants Gujarat Titans to a seven-wicket win over the inaugural champions Rajasthan Royals at the Eden Gardens.

"I think opportunity, firstly (what's changed?). I've been given a role, I felt extremely backed from the outset. My personal game - I'm enjoying my role, I've been playing for many years now. Understanding my game a lot better. In high-pressure situations, you tend to go away from your game plan but I feel like I'm trying to keep everything together close to the game plan," said David Miller in the post-match presentation.

David Miller further said that the plus point of IPL is that you play for different teams in it.

"There has been a lot of going wide to me on the off-side, so I decided actually for the first time to step across. Backed me and went with it. The rest I tried to hit as hard as possible. That's the joys of IPL - you play for different teams, and get to meet different players," he added.

Miller struck five sixes, including three in the final over when 17 runs were needed in a thrilling chase of 189 as Gujarat Titans became the 3rd team to reach the final in their debut season.

"It was a new team so there are a few butterflies here and there. From the first win, everything sort of aligned. You have to control what you can, can't think too
