IND vs SA, 1st T20I: We've Come Here To Win, Says David Miller

Miller said the side has come here to win and the ‘young squad’ is looking forward to the challenge

As South Africa and India get ready to lock horns in the first T20I of the three-match series, Proteas batsman David Miller said the side has come here to win and the ‘young squad’ is looking forward to the challenge. “Yeah I feel playing for your country, there is always responsibility on your shoulders regardless of how much experience you have in international cricket. I mean I have been playing for many years and there is a lot of things to look forward to. We have a young squad and they are all looking ahead to the challenge. It is a great stepping stone, we have come here to win and leave a mark,” Miller told reporters on Saturday. South Africa had a disappointing World Cup stint as they finished at the seventh spot, managing to win just three games out of nine. After the tournament, the side opted for a re-jig. Miller said the team is now in good spirits and they have good preparation ahead of the series. “We did a few things wrong in the World Cup, but now it is a new phase in South African cricket. We have been training hard for the past ten days. Everyone is eager to get the games going and test themselves. Like I said we have come here to win,” Miller said. Wicket-keeper batsman Quinton de Kock will be leading the side and Miller praised his skipper as he labelled him as a thinking cricketer. “Quinton has been around for many years. He has an incredible brain, he is a thinking cricketer. It is really nice to be alongside him. It has been great so far, hope it continues,” Miller said.
