Los Angeles Knight Riders Sign David Miller Ahead of Major League Cricket (MLC) 2024
Los Angeles Knight Riders is the sister franchisee of the Kolkata Knight Riders.
The Los Angeles Knight Riders have signed the South African batter David Miller ahead of the upcoming Major League Cricket (MLC) 2024 season.
This signing comes after a challenging season for the Los Angeles franchise in MLC 2023. Finishing last in the points table with just one win, the Knight Riders are looking to make a strong comeback in 2024.
David Miller’s arrival bolsters their batting order, which lacked firepower last season. The South African is a proven performer in T20 cricket, having excelled in leagues worldwide.
David Miller has accumulated more than 10,000 runs across 478 T20 matches, maintaining an average of 35 and a strike rate of 138. His top score in these matches is an unbeaten 120.
Los Angeles Knight Riders Seek Redemption
The Knight Riders share a sister franchise relationship with the Kolkata Knight Riders, the recent champions of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
One key question remains: who will captain the Los Angeles Knight Riders in MLC 2024? While Sunil Narine led the team last year, their disappointing performance might see a change in leadership.
The Knight Riders will kick off their MLC 2024 campaign against the Texas Super Kings, the sister franchise of the IPL’s Chennai Super Kings, on July 6th.
