IPL 2017: 5 reasons for David Miller’s poor form

#2 Bowlers have worked him out

The South African has been outfoxed spinners and fast bowlers

Not only spinners but fast bowlers have also worked him out and strategised a plan to tie him down. Miller is pretty vulnerable to deceptive slower balls and full-length deliveries. And it came to the fore in the last edition of IPL.

He has often been out bowled and lbw to slower ball yorkers and full-length deliveries. Moreover, he is vulnerable to swinging deliveries as well and hence is not able to score big if he has to walk out to bat after the fall of wickets early in the game.

It has become very easy for the bowlers to set fields for him as he has his own arc of hitting and seldom plays shots out of that arc.
