A Jofra Archer post from 2013 has resurfaced and gone viral again, just as an IPL 2026 encounter delivered the kind of late-night drama that seems made for cricket headlines. In the thriller, David Miller produced a thunderous finishing cameo for Delhi Capitals, striking at a pace that briefly looked capable of rewriting the result. Miller remained unbeaten on 41 off 20 deliveries, smashing big hits that dragged the chase back into the reckoning after a tense stretch when victory appeared to be slipping away.<\/p>\n
The chase swung toward Delhi as Miller, after a brief spell off the field due to a finger concern, returned with renewed intensity. In a crucial over, he struck two sixes and followed them with a boundary to bring the target within touching distance. With just a handful of runs required in the closing moments, the match felt poised for a dramatic end.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s when the final turning point arrived. On the second-last delivery, Miller declined a single, a decision that raised questions about whether he wanted to keep the strike for a particular outcome or whether there was uncertainty with running between the wickets. Whatever the reason, the choice proved expensive. On the last ball, bowled by Prasidh Krishna, Miller couldn\u2019t make contact, and Jos Buttler wasted no time in completing a run-out, handing Gujarat Titans a narrow win in a finish defined by one decisive moment.<\/p>\n
Not long after the result, Archer\u2019s old tweet resurfaced online: \u201cMiller mad? Cricket at 11:30.\u201d The timing mirrored the late-night feel of the match, which concluded around the same period, making the coincidence hit even harder for fans. Archer had originally posted the line during a closely fought South Africa vs Pakistan game, and now it has been drawn into the spotlight again because of Miller\u2019s near-miss and the dramatic conclusion that followed.<\/p>\n
Miller\u2019s fearless approach nearly delivered a sensational win, but in T20 cricket, bold decisions can flip outcomes in a heartbeat. In this case, one call in the penultimate ball\u2019s aftermath turned what looked like a near-certain victory into a heartbreaking defeat for Delhi.<\/p>\n
Earlier in the evening, Gujarat Titans set a challenging total, paced by Shubman Gill\u2019s 70. Jos Buttler contributed 52, while Washington Sundar added 55 to strengthen the innings and push the Titans to a score Delhi would have to fight for. Delhi\u2019s chase started with promise, with Pathum Nissanka and KL Rahul providing early momentum, but the batting unit lost its footing after quick wickets.<\/p>\n
Rashid Khan played a major role in that collapse, finishing with figures of 3-17 and disrupting Delhi\u2019s ability to build partnerships. Once Miller arrived at the crease, he injected urgency and gave the chase a new direction, but it was the final-ball run-out that ultimately decided the contest, ensuring Gujarat Titans edged through in a nail-biting finish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
