IPL 2022, Qualifier 1 was an exciting game that ended with three monstrous sixes from David Miller to take his side into the tournament’s finals.
GT required 16 runs off the last over due to an excellent over from Obed McCoy in the 19th over of the chase. Sanju Samson handed the ball to Prasidh Krishna to bowl the final over and seal the deal for his team.
However, Killer Miller had other plans as he hit a hat-trick of sixes on the first three balls off the last over to guide his team to the finals.
