South African Cricket Team star batter David Miller has refuted the rumors and reports that he is retiring from T20Is, claiming that the best is yet to come for him.
Having played in and losing the final of a World Cup must have been bittersweet for the whole team. While yes, it is true that South Africa made it to the final of a World Cup for the very first time ever, they let a World Cup win slip away in the final overs of the game.
Just a recap: India batted first and lost some early wickets. But a brilliant inning of 76-off-59 took the Men in Blue to 176. Then, while chasing, solid knocks by Quinton de Kock and Heinrich Klassen brought the game down to requiring 30 runs in as many balls.
From here, the Indian pace unit of Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, and Hardik Pandya cleaned up and won the game for their side by seven runs.
