IND vs SA: It's Going To Be A Challenging Series And We're Aware Of That - David Miller
South African batter David Miller hoped that his team could keep the upcoming 5-match T20I series against India competitive in what is expected to be a tough series.
Miller himself is in great form having played a major role in Gujarat Titans (GT) title-winning campaign last month. He has acclimatized to the Indian conditions well and will be hoping to reproduce some of the magic when the two teams meet.
“Yeah, team India is team India. I think in the last couple of years due to the IPL, they’ve got a lot of depth. Very experienced players and dealing with a lot of pressure, the IPL will definitely help them in international cricket. So, we definitely know they don’t have their strongest team.”
“But they are a serious team nonetheless with some serious match-winners and it’s going to be a challenging series and we are aware of that. It’s always nice to play in India against India. Hopefully, it can be a nice competitive series and we can beat them,” Miller said speaking to SA Cric Mag.
“I think it’s just about ironing out a few things” – David Miller
Each T20I series from hereon will be treated as preparation for the T20 World Cup later this year in Australia and David Miller mentioned the same.
“Yeah, I think, looking back on our last two months, we haven’t played any game since the World Cup last year. So, just getting back into the swing of things with our T20 squad. We’ve built up a nice squad in the last year and a half and guys are understanding their roles a lot better.”
“So, I think it’s just about ironing out a few things and try to get that blueprint back to where we were and winning and gaining confidence leading up to the World Cup, which would be priceless,” he further added.
The 5-match T20I series begins on June 9 with the first T20I being played in New Delhi.
