T20 League: Rajasthan Royals-owned Paarl Royals on Sunday announced the appointment of veteran South African batsman David Miller as the captain for the first season of the new T20 league SA20 organized by Cricket South Africa (CSA). This league will start in January next year. Most of the teams in this league are going to be owned by the IPL franchise itself.
Gujarat had won the title
Miller had a stellar performance in the IPL 2022 season and helped Gujarat Titans win the title by scoring 481 runs in 16 matches at a strike rate of 142.73 in the first attempt. Let us tell that on the strength of Miller’s strong game, the Gujarat team won the IPL trophy in its very first season. In IPL 2022, this team was commanded by Hardik Pandya. On the other hand, Miller, who led South Africa to a 2-1 victory in the three-match T20 series against England under his captaincy in August, is now ready for a new challenge.
