David Miller: Career Highlights & 2026 Status

IPL 2026: The New Capital Finisher

In a strategic masterstroke during the December 2025 auction, the Delhi Capitals secured David Miller for ₹2.00 Crore. Many analysts have labeled this the “bargain of the season,” considering his vast experience and finishing prowess. Miller enters the 2026 season having recently crossed the monumental 3,000 IPL runs milestone in April 2025, further cementing his status as a league legend across multiple franchises including Punjab, Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Lucknow.

International Dominance & World Records

Miller’s international resume is one of the most decorated in South African cricket. He famously holds the record for the fastest T20I century (achieved in just 35 balls against Bangladesh) and was the first player to score a T20I hundred while batting at number five. A pillar of the Proteas’ middle order, he led the charge in the 2024 T20 World Cup, where South Africa finished as runners-up, and continued his “clutch” form in the 2025 Champions Trophy.

SA20 Leadership: The Royal Captain

Currently, in January 2026, Miller is the tactical heartbeat of the Paarl Royals. Leading from the front, he has maintained a stellar average of 47.75 in the ongoing SA20 season, showcasing that his power-hitting abilities remain as sharp as ever at the age of 36.
