This is Kings XI’s best chance of winning the Indian Premier League, claims David Miller

Kings XI Punjab have emerged as one of the leading contenders to lift the IPL trophy this year apart from MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings and Kane Williamson-led Sunrisers Hyderabad who are also in good form. Preity Zinta & Co. have managed to put together a competitive side with the likes of KL Rahul, Chris Gayle, Mujeeb Ur Rahman with all looking in good form.

South African batsman David Miller, who has struggled for game time this year in the IPL, has backed his teammates to go all the way and lift the trophy for the first time in their history. The last time KXIP were in the finals, in 2014, they ended up losing to Kolkata Knight Riders despite batsman Wriddhiman Saha's brilliant century in the final.

“It’s been amazing. Everyone’s playing really well. We have had a few outstanding performances from quite a few players. To win big competitions, you need inspired shows. Everyone has contributed on and off the field. I would say this is Kings XI’s best chance of winning the Indian Premier League,” Miller told Hindustantimes in an interview.

Miller further went on to lavish praise on his KXIP teammates who have put up an impressive performance on the pitch since the first day of the tournament. The opening pair of KL Rahul and Chris Gayle have particularly impressed with the former recording his highest score in the IPL of 84* in last night's win over Rajasthan Royals.

“Brilliant guys. It has been a privilege to be a part of the Kings XI franchise for so long and meet such wonderful cricketers like them (R Ashwin, KL Rahul, Yuvraj Singh etc.). It’s nice mingling with them. You learn from them and at the very same time, it’s nice to share your experiences with them.

“As for KL, he has a very good future. For sure, an all format India player. Ashwin is a very astute captain. And Yuvi we all know, champion player,” Miller added.
