Veteran South Africa batter David Miller said that the Delhi Capitals squad has stayed away from blaming individuals and remains united. Having faced a difficult phase due to batting collapses and costly fielding lapses, Delhi now find themselves in a must-win situation heading into the final stretch of the league stage as well, as they now need to win all four remaining games.

“We are in a position where we have spoken that it is all of us together. Win or lose, we are together,” Miller said ahead of the game against the Kolkata Knight Riders. “And there is no pointing fingers at all with what we have done. We are all in it together,” Miller added.

“The reality is we have got four games to win. So if we do that, then we are putting ourselves in a good position. I do not think we have been playing bad cricket at all. We have been playing really good cricket, but there are just moments in the game where we have kind of let ourselves down as a team in certain areas,” he added.

Reflecting on his own mixed season and limited opportunities in the playing XI, Miller admitted that it has been frustrating but he also said that he understands the dynamics of the IPL.

“Not being able to play, obviously it is frustrating as a player. You always want to play every game, but such is the IPL – the structure of it with only four overseas players – the combinations become really important for the team,” he explained. “The games that we have not done too well, we have lost wickets in clusters – two, three, four wickets quite closely,” Miller observed. “And then there are moments here and there where we have dropped a couple of catches that potentially could have changed the outcome of the game.”

“The mindset and mentality of batters nowadays has definitely gone to another level. For someone like me, it is just about making sure that my skills and strengths remain really strong. With someone like Kuldeep, I have always played against him and I do not like facing him,” Miller said.

“He is a great character and for me it is important to have those kinds of players continually playing because he is a match-winner. Whatever has happened in the last ten games, we are taking the positives from that. But the next four games are huge,” he concluded.
