New Delhi: David Miller continued to play games with the Indian bowling attack in the third and final T20I against the hosts in Indore on Tuesday.
The South African batsman walked out to bat in the final over after Tristan Stubbs was sent home by Deepak Chahar. With only four balls remaining in South Africa’s innings, Miller was expected to smash from the start and he did exactly the same.
Miller launched an assault on Deepak Chahar as the left-hand batsman smashed three consecutive sixes, taking the South African innings a notch up which was already great with the help of Quinton de Kock and Rilee Rossouw.

Chahar bowled a full toss above the waist and Miller smashed it so powerfully that it went over the roof of the Holkar Stadium, clocking 91 meters. Everyone present at the venue had their eyes on the ball until it disappeared.
Since it was a no-ball, South Africa were awarded a free hit and Miller sent it into the stands from over deep mid-wicket. The next delivery could have been the Proteas batsman’s dismissal as he tried to hit a six again. The ball landed in the hands of Mohammed Siraj at deep square leg but he backpedaled and ended up crashing into the boundary cushion off his boot.
Miller ended with a single off the final delivery. Rossouw smashed an unbeaten 100 off 48 balls to get South Africa to a great score of 227 for 3. His innings consisted of 8 sixes and 7 boundaries. While, wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock scored a second consecutive half-century in the series, scoring 68 off 43 balls with the help of 4 sixes and 4 boundaries.
