Miller "frustrated" after not getting chance in Rajasthan Royals playing XI

Rajasthan Royals batsman David Miller stated that it becomes very frustrating at times to not get included in the final XI. Miller hasn't played much in IPL 2021 and scored 109 runs at an average of 27.25 and over 121 plus strike rate. His knock of 62 runs against Delhi Capitals that came back in India was the highest for him this season.

"My spot in the playing XI? I'd love to play. I would absolutely love to have the opportunity to perform for the Royals and hopefully contribute positively. It can, at times, get a tad bit frustrating to not play, especially when the team's losing. But, at the end of the day, only eleven of us can play and that's how the sport of cricket goes," Miller was quoted as saying by Khaleej Times on Saturday.

"It's a team game and we're all part of one group and likewise are all very supportive of each other and the players that go out to play. The guys have been putting in a lot of effort, but sometimes in cricket, it does not go your way and that is how it is now," added Miller.

Miller believes his team's middle-order has been not in form in the second leg of the tournament and that partnerships are the need of the hour. "Our middle-order has not really been able to get going in the last few games. Four, five and six are important positions in the batting order and are usually the ones who take the game forward for the team through the middle and death overs."

Rajasthan Royals are at the seventh spot in the points table with 8 points on the board and their road to playoff is will be much tougher if they fail to win any of their remaining games this year.
