South Africa batsman David Miller has announced that the Kings XI Punjab are “more than capable” of winning the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Miller’s comments come after his team won their first five games before losing to the Mumbai Indians.

“It is exciting to have a different group of players,” he said. “Overall, the squad looks more than capable to win the title. We have been training hard and are getting to know each other.

“It is really cool to have so many good players around. I have been discussing a lot of cricket with Sehwag and Bailey too comes across as a man of wisdom. Now the challenge is to gel well together in a short time.”

When asked if he had invented any new shots in the nets, Miller, with a huge grin on face, said: “Well I am actually working on my forward defence. Actually, the focus is just to spend a lot of time in the nets and try hitting every ball besides doing the usual drills.”
