#3 David Miller (38 balls) vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, 2013
‘Killer Miller’ might be inconsistent, but when he does fire, there is no stopping the South African. Part of the Kings XI outfit for multiple seasons, Miller had a terrible last season with the bat, but was in supreme form in 2013, scoring runs at an average of close to 60, including one breathtaking ton.
Walking in at 51-3 with a daunting 192 run target, Miller started steadily, pushing the ball around to get going. With partners fast diminishing on the other end, Miller decided to go for the kill, especially after the 10 over mark. He got a huge reprieve when Virat Kohli, of all people, dropped him on 41, and changed gears after that. In the 15th over, he punished RP Singh with a flurry of boundaries. The costly drop really spurred him, and he took out 25 runs off the over to reduce the equation.
Helped along by some torrid fielding, he sealed the match with a six in the 18th over to finish things off. An ecstatic Preity Zinta was jumping all around the newly made hero.
