South African batter David Miller could be an ideal inclusion for Sunrisers Hyderabad, given his power-hitting ability and anchoring the innings at crucial situations of the match. The SRH needs a genuine middle-order batter, especially at No.5 or 6, and Miller appears to fit the bill, bringing experience, finishing skills, and the ability to accelerate the scoring in the death overs.
Miller played for Lucknow Super Giants in the last IPL season, but was released ahead of the auction, where he has been listed at a base of INR 2 crore, the highest among eight brackets. With only two slots left for overseas players, Sunrisers Hyderabad could aggressively bid for the South African batter to strengthen their middle order and finishing options. Having scored nearly 11,500 runs in T20 cricket, out of which 2612 runs came in international cricket, David Miller could be a game-changer for SRH, providing the team with stability, power, and experience in crunch situations.
