“Going to miss you so much my skut! Thee bigggest heart I’ve ever known. You
took fighting to a different level, always incredibly positive and a smile on
your face. A cheeky and mischievous side to you. You embraced every person
and every challenge in your journey” Miller wrote in the story he added.

“You taught me so much about cherishing every single moment in life! I feel humbled to have walked a journey with you. I love you so much! RIP” he further wrote.

Being an aggressive left-handed middle order batsman and an occasional wicket-keeper, David Miller is the former captain of Kings XI Punjab in the Indian Premier League and plays for South Africa in both One Day International and Twenty20 International cricket. In the 2020 IPL auction, he was bought by the Rajasthan Royals ahead of the 2020 Indian Premier League. Currently, he is representing Hardik Pandya’s Gujarat Lions in the IPL.

In the meantime, Team South Africa, including Miller is gearing up for the second ODI in the three match ODI series. The game is set to be played on Sunday.
