A thrilling IPL match between Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans turned into a big talking point online after an old tweet by Jofra Archer resurfaced. The tweet, posted back in 2013, simply read ‘Miller mad?’ and fans were quick to connect it with what happened in the match.

Delhi Capitals were chasing a huge target of 211 runs at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. In the final over, they needed 13 runs. David Miller was at the crease and looked set to finish the game. After scoring 11 runs in the first four balls, only two runs were needed from the last two deliveries.

However, the match took a surprising turn. On the fifth ball, Miller had a chance to take a single and level the score, but he decided to stay on strike and finish the match himself. This decision proved costly. Bowler Prasidh Krishna delivered a slower ball, which Miller failed to connect properly.

In the final moments, Kuldeep Yadav tried to steal a run, but Jos Buttler reacted quickly and ran him out with a direct hit. Delhi lost the match by just one run, leaving Miller disappointed.

Soon after the match, Archer’s old tweet went viral, with fans calling it a strange coincidence. This is not the first time his old tweets have matched real-life events, which is why many fans found it interesting.

Former cricketers like Harbhajan Singh and Murali Kartik also criticised Miller’s decision, saying taking a single would have been the safer option.

While Gujarat Titans celebrated the win, it was this moment and the viral tweet that kept people talking even after the match ended.
