5 best South African batsmen in IPL

#3 David Miller

David Miller will play his 7th season for KXIP this year.

David Miller is one of those overseas stars who cemented his place in the national side after his exploits in the IPL. In 2012, Kings XI Punjab obtained the services of the hard-hitting left-hander. He played only 6 games in that season, but the Punjab franchise continued their association with him.

In 2013, he set the IPL on fire with some clean striking. One of his best ever knocks also came in that season. At 64/4 after 10 overs, KXIP were reeling in their chase of 191. However, Miller single-handedly took Punjab home as he struck a magnificent 38-ball 101. He was retained by KXIP in 2014 and he continued to be one of the star performers for the Punjab franchise.

In a season where KXIP made it to the final, Miller contributed with 446 runs and was the second-highest run-getter for Punjab after Maxwell that season. He continued his form through the next season as well where he scored 357 runs. However, his form dipped and he was dropped mid-way through last season. However, KXIP have retained their faith in him and used their RTM card to buy him back during the auctions.
