David Miller and Jofra Archer (Photo Agency) NEW DELHI: An old post by Jofra Archer unexpectedly went viral after a thrilling IPL 2026 clash where David Miller played a powerful cameo for Delhi Capitals but fell just short of victory against Gujarat Titans. His unbeaten 41 off 20 balls, laced with big hits, almost turned the match around in a tense late evening finish.The game came to a dramatic finale with Miller leading the chase after leaving the field briefly with a finger problem.

Rashid Khan opens surgery, poor last season and bowling rhythm Despite the setback, he came back strongly, smashing two sixes and a boundary in the crucial over to bring Delhi back into contention. Just a couple of runs were needed in the final moments and the match looked within reach.Things took a surprising turn when Miller dismissed a single off the penultimate delivery, perhaps showing a lack of confidence in his partner. This decision proved costly. On the last ball bowled by Prasidh Krishna, Miller failed to make contact and Jos Buttler quickly completed the run-out to give Gujarat Titans a narrow win in a nail-biting finish.Archer’s tweet from 2013 resurfaced soon after: “Miller mad? Cricket at 11.30,” perfectly fitting the night’s drama of that match ending around the same time. The tweet was originally posted during a close match between South Africa and Pakistan, making the coincidence even more striking.Miller’s fearless approach nearly brought victory, but one gutsy call changed everything and a near-win turned into a heartbreaking loss.Earlier in the evening, Gujarat Titans put up a strong total led by Shubman Gill’s 70, supported by Jos Buttler’s 52 and Washington Sundar’s 55.
