India’s victory in the 2024 T20 World Cup, the retirements of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, and Suryakumar Yadav’s historic catch have all been hot topics of discussion. This catch occurred on the first ball of the last over of the match, leading to David Miller’s dismissal and South Africa missing the chance to win the title.
Following these events, there was news that the African star, known as Killer Miller, had retired from T20 International cricket. This news further disappointed the South African fans, already upset by their loss in the final. However, Miller himself has now clarified the situation.
“The Best is Yet to Come”
David Miller shared an Instagram story, stating that the reports of his retirement from T20 International cricket are baseless and just rumors. In a brief post, he mentioned that he will continue to shine on the field and that his best is yet to come.
In his Instagram story, Miller wrote, “Contrary to reports, I have not retired from T20 International cricket. I will continue to be available for my Proteas (South African team).” In the last line of his story, the South African star player wrote, “The best is yet to come.”
Three Indian Stars Retire
It is worth noting that the final of the 2024 T20 World Cup was held on June 29 in Barbados between India and South Africa. In this thrilling match, the Indian team won by 7 runs in the last over. Following this victory, first Kohli and then Rohit announced their retirement from T20 International cricket. The next day, Ravindra Jadeja also announced his retirement from T20 International cricket.
Surya Takes a Stunning Catch to Dismiss Miller
In the final match, David Miller, batting at number six for South Africa, played an explosive innings of 21 runs off 17 balls. In the last over, with 16 runs needed for South Africa to win, Miller was on strike to face fast bowler Hardik Pandya.
Miller attempted an aerial shot towards long-off on the first ball, which Suryakumar Yadav caught brilliantly. Running to the boundary, Surya caught the ball, tossed it in the air while stepping over the boundary, and then came back onto the field to complete the catch. This catch remains a highlight.
