David Miller cemented Gujarat Titans’ position at the top of the table with a sensational unbeaten 94 (51b, 8x4, 6x6) as his side edged Chennai Super Kings by three wickets with a ball to spare and registered its fifth win of the season at the MCA Stadium here on Sunday.
Chasing a target of 170, the Titans were in big trouble at 16 for three in the fourth over with Maheesh Theekshana picking up two wickets. Opener Shubman Gill was snared by Mukesh Choudhary for a golden duck in the first over before Theekshana sent back Vijay Shankar (0) and Abhinav Manohar (12).
In walked Miller. For a large part of the chase, the South African left-hander single-handedly kept his side in the hunt. He hit boundaries with remarkable regularity before skipper Rashid Khan joined the party with a match-swinging 40 off 21 balls. The duo added 70 off 37 balls for the sixth wicket.
