Ranking the all-time best power hitters in T20I death overs

9. David Miller  

South Africa’s left-handed batter David Miller is another stylish T20I batter who is considered one of the best to give nightmares to bowlers in the death overs. He is the only Protea batter who has scored two centuries in cricket’s shortest format. His strike rate in the T20Is is around 145.00 which clearly indicates that his batting technique is best suitable to the format.

In his vast career, there have been many instances to recount when he displayed his power-hitting potential but his best came against India in a losing cause. Following the humongous target of 238, the Protea side had lost three wickets at a score of 47 in 6.2 overs. In the crisis, Miller stepped up and took the game close with his spunky 106-run innings.

At the end of the day, South Africa went back home without a victory but Miller’s masterclass won the hearts of passionate cricket fans. His exquisite innings was studded with 15 boundaries which included eight fours and seven maximums.
