In a high-scoring encounter between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the IPL 2024, David Miller‘s exceptional fielding skill was on display as he executed a brilliant run out of Rachin Ravindra.
David Miller’s brilliance to run out Rachin Ravindra
In the first over of the CSK run chase at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium, Umesh Yadav delivered a ball on off-stump to Ajinkya Rahane. Ravindra, at the non-striker’s end, responded to Rahane’s call for a run, attempting to steal a quick single. However, Miller, positioned at backward point, swiftly collected the ball and threw it underarm with pinpoint accuracy, hitting the stumps directly at the bowler’s end. Ravindra was caught short of his crease, resulting in him walking back to the pavilion for just 1 run. The dismissal showcased Miller’s exceptional fielding prowess and cricketing intelligence.

Despite the early setback, CSK fought hard but fell short in their chase of GT’s imposing total of 231/3. Daryl Mitchell’s valiant effort with the bat, scoring 63 runs, and Moeen Ali‘s brisk 56 runs were not enough as CSK could only manage 196/8 in their allotted 20 overs.

GT’s victory was anchored by stellar performances from Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan, who both scored centuries, guiding their team to a formidable total.
With this victory, GT have moved up to the eighth position in the IPL 2024 points table, keeping their playoff hopes alive. They will now look forward to their next fixture against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the same venue.
