“What I wear to bed? Nothing!” says David Miller
The cricketer talks about being comfortable in his own space, admiring MS Dhoni and not being able to resist butter chicken in an intimate chat
A flamboyant cricketer who is known for his destructive batting on the field, South Africa’s David Miller has developed a distinctive reputation for performing under pressure, which led him to being nicknamed Killer Miller. However, very few people get to see the other side of him, with his interests deep-rooted into the world of photography, music and cooking. A relatively shy personality, ‘Pup’ as referred to by his mates, also happens to own a coffee shop back home in Cape Town, and indulges in Indian food whenever he gets the chance. The exemplary left-hander was last seen in India during his time with the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL, a competition where he holds the record for scoring the third fastest hundred ever.
