David Miller, the Delhi Capitals (DC) power hitter, redeemed himself in style after he led his side to victory against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on April 18, 2026, in Bengaluru. Miller had missed the chance to get a win for DC against the Gujarat Titans a few days ago due to a tactical error.

Meanwhile, RCB was asked to bat first by DC after captain Axar Patel won the toss. Phil Salt led the way with 63, while Tim David, with 26, was the next best scorer. Other batters got starts but couldn’t sustain the momentum as RCB managed 175/8 in 20 overs. For DC, Lungi Ngidi, Kuldeep Yadav, and Axar took two wickets apiece.

In the chase, KL Rahul, on his birthday, hammered 57 runs as Bhuvneshwar Kumar blew away the DC top order. But Tristan Stubbs with 60* in 47 balls, Axar Patel with 26 (retired hurt), and David Miller with 22* in 10 balls won the match for DC with one ball left and 6 wickets to spare. Miller hit Romario Shepherd for 2 sixes and one four in the last over to win the game on the penultimate ball.

David Miller spoke to the official broadcasters of IPL 2026 and spoke about his redemption after the loss to GT a few days ago.

“It feels really good. Obviously, to get one from the other night, I was just a bit disappointed a couple of games ago, but to get myself back in that position was good to get over the line. It's always going to be there at the back of the mind (unable to finish the job against GT) until you actually win another game. That's our take. And it has been a couple of games; you know, we obviously have a week off, so I've worked on a few things, just trying to stay in the moment as well and do what I can. My first six balls, I thought, were really unbelievable. While there were six yorkers to me and I couldn't get going, but, yeah, really chuffed that it came off in the last six balls,” Miller told the official broadcasters.

Furthermore, he talked about his discussion with Stubbs when DC needed more than 40 runs in the last 4 overs and how they got the Delhi Capitals over the line.

“We did try to finish it in the second-to-last over, but when you need those 43-odd runs in the last four overs, we always knew there was one or two sixes. When you hit six and then a back-to-back four or six, then, you know, the bowler's always under pressure from there. So, it's just trying to limit the dot balls. And then when the boundary ball comes, you kind of capitalize. So, it was trying to stay calm and obviously keep communicating with the partner, and, yeah, I'll take it as deep as I can, as we can,” he added.

“Batting where I did, there were a lot of stop-and-starts in this game. It felt like he couldn't get going. And then, there was a break in play a lot of the time. So, balls were a bit scrambled, but when I walked to the wicket, Stubbo said to me, "You just keep your intensity really high." So, for me, that obviously helped a lot. You know, just a reminder, which clicked me into a good frame of mind. And it came after a little while. It's always good finishing off games with Stubbs.

We batted a lot together, and he just said, "Thanks so much; you saved me there." But I thought he batted unbelievably well. Obviously anchored the innings all the way through. He was calm. He's got a great technique and then, obviously, is very powerful. So, for him, being there was massive for us,” Miller concluded.

DC will next clash with Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 21, with the game to be played in Hyderabad.
