David Miller and the South African cricket team were left gutted when they failed to cross the line against India in the highly anticipated 2024 T20 World Cup final, a match that drew the attention of cricket enthusiasts worldwide.

They came very close to winning the game in the final. However, the Indian team was able to turn the game around and ended up winning instead.

Following this defeat, there were reports of Miller retiring from the shortest format. The internet was abuzz with ideas and rumours that Miller was considering or had announced his retirement.

Soon, the players decided to come clean regarding the reports and claimed that he had no intentions of doing so. In a statement on social media, Miller said, “Contrary to some reports, I have NOT retired from T20 international cricket. I will continue to be available to play for the proteas. The best is yet to come.”

Earlier, Miller posted a social media message expressing his disappointment regarding his team’s close loss in the final. Miller called the close chase and the defeat a “tough pill to swallow.”

Miller was the last standing batter for South Africa in the final over of the game. With the Proteas requiring 16 off 6, they were never out of the game. However, Miller couldn’t take them over the line this time.

Known for his big hits down the ground, Miller went after a full-toss delivery. Everyone thought that it would be a maximum to start off the over. But it wasn’t to be, as Suryakumar Yadav completed a game-changing catch at the long-on boundary.

Miller’s dismissal for the scorer of 21 was a turning point in the over. It swung the momentum completely in India’s favour. Hardik Pandya easily closed out the remaining over, as India registered a famous 7-run victory in the final game.
