This time Wriddhiman Saha was the one who got out after a cracker of a ball from Trent Boult. 16 runs were needed off the final over with David Miller and Hardik Pandya at the crease. The left-handed Miller smashed each of Prasidh Krishna’s first three balls for six to bring the house down at a fully packed Eden Gardens. “Killer Miller” smashed three fours and five sixes in his 38-ball knock and helped his team win the first Qualifier by 7 wickets.

I have been a fan of Cricket ever since I watched the 2002 NatWest Series Final on television. The memories of Dada's celebration, Zaheer's winning run, and Kaif's extraordinary inning are still vivid. I played the sport growing up, and I still do occasionally. I also enjoy it on the web or television. My passion for the game inspired me to start writing about it and I have been doing it since 2019. I hope readers will use my articles as a platform to discuss this beautiful sport we call "Cricket".
