India did pretty well to make that game so close in the end.

to those who are undermining David Miller.

In T20Is, he is level superior to most batters in the world let alone Pandya. He is a superior T20 player than Babar, Rohit and Rizwan as well.

After Kohli, Buttler and Warner, David Miller is the 4th best batsman active in the world in T20s. The guy is the best finisher in the world and is a better six hitter than anyone. Look at his stats for reference and he has been playing clutch knocks too over last two years regularly.

Two T20I hundreds for a middle order batsman, average of 35 at strike rate of 145.

No one is undermining David Miller, his record and mediocrity speaks for itself.

You don't watch South African cricket or his stints in IPL?

India lost to South Africa by five wickets in a low-scoring T20 World Cup thriller between the sides in Perth on Sunday. Apart from the Proteas' impressive performance with the ball, it was the poor fielding of the Indian team that saw the result of the match go in favour of South Africa. While Virat Kohli missed a sitter at deep mid-wicket to see Aiden Markram survive at a crucial juncture in the game, India skipper Rohit Sharma missed a run-out chance against the same batter later in the match.

Despite the two misfields from India, legendary batter Sunil Gavaskar backed the fielders and said that it was rather Ravichandran Ashwin's expensive spell that cost India the game.

"Things like dropping a catch and missing a run-out chance happen in cricket. We can't blame any one player for the loss. When luck is not on one's side, big players too can drop catches or miss run-out chances. I believe that the main problem when India fielded was one bowler giving away 47 (43) runs," Gavaskar told Aaj Tak.

Ashwin bowled four over in the game vs South Africa and conceded 43 runs, while taking the wicket of Tristan Stubbs.
