Killer Miller

Last year he was picked in the auction for the Rajasthan Royals team. But the Rajasthan team did not retain him as he has been in poor form for the last few seasons. It is noteworthy that in the subsequent auction, the Gujarat Titans took him. Miller's tweet has since gone viral on the Internet.
