At the identical time,\u00a0Gavaskar admitted that Miller must have given Kuldeep the strike on the second-last ball as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, he was backing himself to hit the winning runs, but having seen the way in which Kuldeep Yadav nudged that ball for a single off the primary ball, perhaps he must have given Kuldeep the strike,\u201d Gavaskar said after the match.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe must have given the strike. That is all being sensible after the event, but the actual fact stays that the way in which he had been hitting the previous over and that over as well, he believed that he could do it, easy as that. So you possibly can\u2019t fault him for that. He had the boldness that he could do it, however it didn\u2019t come off since the ball that Prasidh Krishna bowled was a completely superb delivery,\u201d he shared again.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, former England captain Kevin Pietersen also shared his views on this incident, suggesting Miller was confident of at the very least getting a single on the ultimate ball of the match after denying the strike to Kuldeep as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe purely based on the proven fact that he thought that from that last delivery, he would guarantee to get one at the very least. And if not one, he would strike it out of the bottom because he\u2019s that good at striking the ball out of the bottom. In order that\u2019s where his mind would have been. Does he need to risk Kuldeep or Kuldeep getting out?\u201d Pietersen said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, they\u2019ve tied the sport, and yes, they\u2019ve got the super over, but he thought from that final delivery, I\u2019ll definitely get one. The worst case is one. I\u2019m not going to miss it. Best case, I\u2019ll get a 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. That\u2019s where he was at,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Get the most recent\u00a0cricket news\u00a0here, like us on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/m.facebook.com\/cricfitupdate?wtsid=rdr_0r9TyTtGMzhJUSzAh\">Facebook<\/a>, and follow us on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CricFit\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/cricfit?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==\">Instagram\u00a0<\/a>for more such updates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Miller (Image: BCCI) David Miller made headlines along with his decision to not take a single when DC needed two runs from the ultimate two balls to win the match.\u00a0Nevertheless, Indian legend Sunil Gavaskar doesn\u2019t see much fault in his approach, as he was confident of hitting an enormous shot on the ultimate delivery.
