2. David Miller - 101 off 38 deliveries against RCB, IPL 2013
David Miller during his knock of 101 off 38 deliveries
I rate this innings very highly due to the fact that it came at a stage when his team seemed totally down for the count, and needed something special to bail them out. Kings XI Punjab were chasing a stiff target of 191 set by Royal Challengers Bangalore, and were in big trouble after being reduced to 64/4 in 10 overs.

From there it was David Miller who took the onus on himself to stage a grand comeback for his team. The southpaw was in a murderous mood and kept plundering the RCB attack all around Mohali.
Virat Kohli dropped him on 41, and that proved to be a huge turning point. 'Killer Miller' smashed 60 in the next 16 deliveries and Kohli was simply out of ideas.
Miller eventually sealed the deal with two overs left. He reached his century with a six and remained unbeaten on 101 off 38 deliveries. His innings was laced with 8 fours and 7 sixes.
