David Miller is one of South Africas's main bets in the India-South Africa T20I series. The middle-order batsman failed with the bat as he was castled by Hardik Pandya for an 18-ball 15. However, he made it up on the field with an unbelievable catch to dismiss Shikhar Dhawan.
David Miller's acrobatic catch
David Miller took an acrobatic catch to get rid of Shikhar Dhawan which also broke the 61-run second-wicket stand between him and Virat Kohli. It happened in the 12th over of India's run chase which was bowled by Tabraiz Shamsi. On the fourth delivery, Shamsi bowled a simple one on the line of middle stump and Dhawan charged down the track to deposit him into the stands and in fact, he had connected the ball well and it appeared that Gabbar would get another boundary or a maximum. Unfortunately, for the left-hander, his stay in the middle was cut short after David Miller took a catch out of nowhere. Miller covered a lot of ground, put in a spectacular dive and held on to the ball with just one hand as he completed what a few experts believe as 'The Catch of the Century'. Miller's acrobatic catch left Indian skipper Virat Kohli in utter disbelief and even Dhawan could not believe what had just happened. The video of David Miller's electrifying catch was posted on social media.

The Indian run chase
The Indian openers set the tone right from the beginning of the second innings, especially Shikhar Dhawan who scored a quickfire 40. After Dhawan was sent back to the dugout, Rishabh Pant followed him to back to the pavilion. Shreyas Iyer came in next and he helped Virat Kohli to comfortably finish off the match by seven wickets and an over to spare. Kohli was adjudged Man of the Match for his unbeaten 52-ball 72 which included four boundaries and a six at a strike rate of 138.46.
