David Miller\u2019s decision on the penultimate ball became the defining moment in Delhi Capitals\u2019 one-run loss to Gujarat Titans on Wednesday, a game that swung wildly until the very end.<\/p>\n

Chasing 211, DC stayed alive through Miller\u2019s late assault despite a mid-innings injury that forced him to briefly retire hurt. Returning when the equation had steepened, he tore into Mohammed Siraj in the 19th over, bringing the target down to 12 off the final over.<\/p>\n

Prasidh Krishna, under pressure and with fielding restrictions due to a slow over rate, nearly lost control when Miller smashed a 106-metre six, leaving DC needing two off two balls. At that point, the obvious option was to take a single and force a Super Over.<\/p>\n

Instead, Miller declined it, trusting himself to finish. He missed the final ball, and a sharp run-out sealed a one-run defeat, turning a calculated gamble into a moment of intense scrutiny.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how the cricket world reacted to Miller\u2019s call.<\/p>\n

Perplexed!<\/h4>\n

Wasim Jaffer, like everyone else, was simply baffled.<\/p>\n

Bonkers!<\/h4>\n

Ravichandran Ashwin did not hold back in his assessment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am thinking what could have happened to Kuldeep and David Miller. If I was Kuldeep, I would have pushed him to the other end. I can\u2019t understand. I can\u2019t fathom it. It is just beyond me. It is bonkers,\u201d Ashwin said in a video on his YouTube channel.<\/p>\n

He further broke down the situation, pointing out that the match context made the decision even harder to justify.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause if you want 4 runs or 6 runs, it was right. You need 2 runs. And what are the odds? You can take 1 run. Kuldeep will at least get into the bat. Or if he doesn\u2019t, you can run away. Even if Kuldeep gets bowled, in a 210 game, if you reach the Super Over, you have done well. I am not able to wrap my head around it,\u201d Ashwin further said.<\/p>\n
