For the first time in David Miller’s career, he will feature for a different franchise other than Kings XI Punjab. After Preity Zinta-owned franchise releasing him for the IPL 2020 Auction, Rajasthan Royals snapped him for INR 75 Lakhs. Miller is a left-handed batsman, who is renowned for his power-hitting.

Miller was signed up by Punjab for the 2011 IPL season for a price of $100,000 as a replacement for Dimitri Mascarenhas but did not play in a single game. David Miller’s fortunes turned for the better in the 2013 edition of the IPL. Miller was the highest run-getter for Punjab.

He scored 418 runs at an average of 59.71. He scored three fifties and a hundred. The hundred came off 38 balls against Bangalore and is the third fastest in the IPL. His big-hitting was the talk of the town. The Punjab side retained Miller in the 2014 auctions.
